Guitar beginner needs some help

Hey guys! I came over a probmlem while learning the guitar. I'm still at a very early stage of learning, so please excuse my stupid question.
Still, would be nice if someone could tell me how to solve the problem with the muffled string and maybe give me some more tips...

Thanks! I've figured that out meanwhile, what I've got trouble now are barrets. It starts with the F chord, where I have to grip both the 5th and 6th string with the first finger. It works fine when I practice it, but when I attempt to play a song, and I have to witch to it quickly, I just don't make it to press down on all four strings of the chordcompletely, so it always sounds weird, or I accidentally muffle the 5th string with the 2nd finger... All beginnings are hard. ^^

move your palm down and just have it fingers, I have really chubby short fingers too, But if you practice stretching them and what not and not actually resting your hand on the guitar it will work. Took me a while too. i can show you on cam some idea if you want (:xxx
