Hey @JeffK ;
I’m gonna have to agree with @Philb . I do not believe it is “fat fingers”. I do believe you are muting the high E string because your finger is too flat. You are muting the G string because your finger is pushing up past the B string and touching the G string. And again, it’s because your finger it too flat to the fretboard. Like Phil already said, your fingers have to be more arched. Try dropping your thumb lower on the back of the neck and push your wrist forward so you can get more arch. Then make sure you are using the tip of your finger and not the pad just as Phil has said.
Do some experimenting and then get back to us. Ask more questions if necessary… or, let us know about your success.
