How can I prevent muting strings while playing the guitar?

To prevent muting strings while playing the guitar, focus on proper finger placement and hand positioning. Make sure your fingers are pressing down on the strings firmly and directly behind the frets. Practice keeping your fingers arched and avoid letting them touch adjacent strings. Additionally, pay attention to the angle of your wrist and ensure it is not blocking any strings from ringing out. Regular practice and mindfulness of your technique will help prevent muting strings while playing the guitar.
