One person’s problem is another person’s solution. You may want to refine your muting and even perfect it.
Can you demonstrate your technique for muting the high E string? I like leaving it out for most of the open chords. It’s too brittle and harsh for my ears. I just try not to hit it for the most part. I do like the high E on major & minor 7th chords and the “Wonderwall” chord voicings.
