thank you for the photo. I have family in Nova Scotia but they’re not French speaking but many times we were up in Montreal and Quebec and it was a lot of friends from my other guitar forums that live in Quebec..
From the picture, it appears that you might be muting the D string is that correct?? it appears that your finger is flattened more than curved and up and down and that’s the pad of your finger might be muting the string. Let me know if that’s what you’re experiencing.. if that is the case it’s not too difficult of a fix first. I would suggest that you move your wrist forward and it automatically curves your fingers more.. and if you simply take that ring finger and move it up a little away from the D string you shouldn’t have a problem. You don’t play that low string the top string there when you’re playing the sea chord. The route note of a sea string is the A, so you strum from the A down so you’re not hitting that top E at all so you can mute that string move your finger up and to where it’s not infringing on the D string.
You can type in French, and we can use a translator, and vice versa. I’m making a suggestion to TAC to consider making a translator available for non English speaking or where it is a secondary language. I’m sure you’re not the only person that could benefit from it. @VictoriaTACTeam @Tpolecastro
