Guitar Chords
How do I keep myself from strumming dead strings in some guitar chords?
I’m a beginner in playing the guitar and I have a problem. I strum on dead strings on chords such as C major. Could anyone give me some tips or solutions on my problem?
It’s not a case of trying to avoiding strumming the string, it’s more a case of making sure that when you do strum the dead string it doesn’t make a sound 
It’s all about practice and training your hands/fingers to automatically “dampen” the dead strings.
For example, you mention the “C” chord. In the “C” chord the only string you don’t want to sound is the low E string (i.e the thickest string on the guitar). On the “A” string you should be holding the 3rd fret with your third finger. Try and make it so that your third finger also touches the side of the low E string. This will have the effect of “dampening” the low E string so that when you hit it, it will not make a sound.
If you practice this, you will find that your fingers eventually “remember” to automatically dampen the necessary strings when you go to fret each chord.
