Hey everyone

I've been playing guitar for around 6 months and ive gotten the hang of barre chords, although I'm having a problem with playing major barre chords with the root on the A string.

What I usually do is I barre the fret with my index finger and simply use my third finger to cover the B, G and D strings. The problem is, my third finger keeps muting the low E string so i can't really play the chord 100% properly.

So how do you guys play major barre chords on the A string ? or is there a certain way to alter my position so it'll sound cleaner?

Thanks!
