This is part of a guitar tab I'm reliably informed is a good start for newbie players to learn. It's from John Lennon's Imagine. It also happens to be one of my favorite songs.
It's the 6th & 7th chord I h'm having trouble with.... muting A & G whilst playing the E, D and B. How do you do it?
Please....

for the low E string i use my ring finger, muting the A string below it by gently resting that finger across it. i use myindex finger on the D string, again muting the string below it with my index finger. i use my little finger on the B string, again using the same muting method.
it makes it easier if you tilt/angle your fingers so they lie closer to the strings making muting easy. it is quite a subtle technique, and i'm sure it is the right way to do it.
hope this helps.
