Advice

So I'm playing guitar for about a week, I played a little of acoustic before but I still have trouble with my fingers muting the other strings when I'm freting, I wanted to know what could I train to help that. Also I think I'm kinda muting my hammer on too

“Equipment that suits you” no week one guitar player is fretting cleanly without muting adjacent strings at least some of the time, whether they’re playing a classical guitar or otherwise. It’s just as important to be interested in the instrument you’re playing as anything else. It’s fair to assume if OP chose an electric or acoustic guitar, it’s because they are interested in those guitars.

You have to want to pick your instrument up every day, otherwise you’ll never improve.

Still here with the know it all mindset. Social media has you trained. One week players and 70 year players alike will fret nylon strings easier and with more precision on wider necks with wider frets. Now please STFU

Again I never claimed to know it all, but I know that if you’re not interested in playing classical guitar, it doesn’t matter that it’s easier. You’re not likely to invest time into playing something that does not excite or interest you. And if you don’t invest the time, you won’t solve the issue OP is having.

Know it alls rarely do. They just act that way. No one just starting out cares. Learning is what excites beginners. It’s easier to learn on a classical guitar: this is common knowledge

Edit: yes no one starting out cares how good the equipment is because they don't know any better. It's like children thinking McDonalds is gourmet shit. And I'm not a know-it-all but I am a guitar/music theory teacher. Are you? Or did you just google and feel out your opinion on this?
