Mute it with yr thumb

Put your pick after the first string

Just start at the fifth string lmao

It's really easy

this is the trick i do, you can do this for chords starting on the 4th string if yr nuts

Is there even a difference whether I strum that string or not?

>how do they do it?

By not sucking.

That said it doesn’t matter if you hit the low E in an A chord now and then as E is one of the notes of an A chord anyway. Some guitarists struggle to get their head around this, it makes more sense if you play another instrument like mandolin where the first note struck is rarely that of the chord.

Use your fingers, pleb

>t. Finger master race

What about the D Chord, can I hit the Low E and A too?

What happens when the string you aren't supposed to play isn't E or E?

It's the fifth of the chord and would act as an inversion - the chord would no longer be Amaj - it would be Amaj/E

Fucking impossible.

its easy. even as a beginner i never struggled with that lol

the right effects pedal can mute that string. no real artist uses that one anyway

Just grow bigger hands, bro.

>6’3 master race

You can hit the A as that is part of the D chord and I often do so deliberately when I fingerpick, you don’t want to hit the E though.

Just keep practicing and you will get used to it.

wtf how did your hands get so tall

Crystal treatment

use three fingers to hold 213
use your pinky/thumb to mute the E string
or you can just git gud and not hit it with your right hand

specifically in the case it doesn't actually matter, because E is already part of the A major chord (you're holding it down an octave higher, with 2)
you might as well play it, the double octave voicing sounds nice

hit the fucking thing who gives a shit

Use a different finger usually index on fretboard whatever is closest to E practice funk shut like can't stop rhcp or ross Bolton

I could never play barre chords when I only had a shitty acoustic guitar I was using to teach myself with but when I got an electric guitar it became a lot easier. I guess because the strings are thinner. But regardless now I can play em on the acoustic one as well.

My workaround for playing F, B-minor, etc. was to just play them in the Fmaj7 shape. It isn't perfect but it was better than nothing.

Bruh, its an Am with your pointer finger barring
