Another Thing Is The Muting Of The Low E String. In This Case I Recommend Using Your Index Finger For That.
But Like In The Previous Example You Can Play The E String If It Is A Sound Option.
As You Can See The Barre Is Just Across Five Strings Instead Of Six Strings. This Is Allowing You To Fret With Less Energy And To Mute The Low E String By Just Slightly Touching It With Your Finger Tip. Take A Look At The Photo Above.

Well Done!
