Joined: 24 Jan 2015 Karma	so getting advice from more skilled guitarist, they suggested i move on to more bar chord stuff. so i have a pretty good feel with bar chords now. but when i have just a open bar with just my index finger, it seems no matter how well i have my index finger placed that there is always one or two strings that are being muted... any suggestions?

Take time and pratice a few and even if you make strange sounds (we all have) don't worry find out what going wrong. Most of it will be down to thumb postion or your finger catching a string or not pressure down enough. Go steady Eddy and you will get it
