How do you get clear sounding chords?
To get a good clean sound use the very tip of your fingers to press down the strings or else the strings won’t ring out properly. Only use the pad of your fingers when you need to bar multiple strings like with the F chord. Press your fingers firmly down on the strings.
How do you play barre chords without muting strings?
Easy, don’t mute the strings, let them ring openly, as you would with non barre chords. The trick is to first push down, strong, so there’s no buzzing, once you master that, it’ll work! You can do some pressure training for your chord hand, by pressing the fingers down hard, on a table or cointertop.

How can I strengthen my fingers for guitar?
Hold the fingers down as you go: When you put down your little finger, make sure that all your fingers are still pressing down in the correct frets. This is what helps you develop the stretch between the fingers, which makes them more agile. Holding them down also works the muscles, making your fingers stronger.
