Currently I am plagued with finding the clear sound from a C major open. I either end up muting the open E or the Open G. Any clues would help me.

I have a general issue with the C chord. I know the shape and seem to be able to land it when doing chord switch exercises. ( G to C, D to C, etc...). It may sound crazy and counter intuitive but when I go thru learning the song I practice at 75% speed. When I get stuck and am muting but am confident I know the chord, I speed it up to 90%. What I've found is that the in song switching gets a bit better. I believe it is a mental issue and if I speed it up I have less time to think about it and the hand knows where to go. It's not perfect by any means but the process seems to work incrementally and help.
