Now that’s tricky to not only not mute with the ring finger but fret the high E with your index finger on the 2nd fret. I can’t do this cleanly but I can’t get it working with some buzzing. But I see where if you able to bend the first knuckle of your ring back slightly, so that the finger is no longer straight, this would be quite easy to do. Some people naturally have this ability and perhaps it can be “developed” to a small degree.
