It will come with time. I had mutes in just about every chord, some of them I didn’t even notice until 6 months after learning them (E and A chord). Now things are fairly good with the open chords, barre chords are another animal altogether and it will probably take me close to a year to conquer them.
At first when I attempted to play a G chord I muted 3 or 4 strings most of the time. Now I can form it cleanly, still not fast but I’m working on speed. I practice the C and the A minor at the same time since so little movement is required in the transition. Practicing transitions is more useful than just the chords individually. Same with the G and the B7!
Set a timer for a minute and count how many transitions you can make between chords, don’t worry if they’re muted sometimes, fix the mute on the next transition. I have a spreadsheet with dozens of transitions and reps per minute recorded. I try to improve my speed. Lately I’ve gotten away from doing this so I thank you for your reminder through your post!
Cheers!
