I think everyone struggles with the C chord.

A couple things to try.

– lower your thumb just a little on the neck. That will allow you to get more arch in your fingers.

– the other thing to practice is to make the C chord and then pick each string individually. If one is muted do micro adjustments with your fingers so that none are muted and the chord rings clearly. Then remove your hand and repeat. I typically do this for 5 mins each day. It took me 4 months to get a clean C chord. So be patient.
