Hi @Solcat I’ve started to overcome this problem recently. I have a cheap entry level guitar and a few months ago came to the conclusion it was my guitar. As for me the muting that occurs is only from a minute touch so I figured if I had more space this would get rid of the problem or if the action was lower again this would give me the fraction of space I need. This could be an easy fix and if you want a new guitar jump in (I’m going to as soon as I decide what I would like) but you may end up spending £££ and still have the same problem and that would be gutting. So in the meantime for me a lot of practice has helped overcome this and I’ve managed to realise what has made the difference is when playing c and g chord I now ( not always sometimes I get tired or sloppy and the muting occurs) slightly push the lower string up a bit and this gives me the room I need to stop muting A String or D string hammer on depending what chord you playing (it’s possible before I realised this I could have been pulling the string a bit so this is what made the muting) . This has really improved my form on playing the chords too so hopefully when I do step up and get that new guitar I’ll be a better player. Hope this helps. Stick with it keep experimenting and you’ll get it
