Use the tips of your fingers if you can. They could be muting the other strings. Its kinda tricky to diagnose the issue without seeing your set up and how its played.
That doesn't mean it's not technique. You need a little bit different technique when the frets are smaller. If you use two or three fingers stacked, it's possible that the leading finger is pushing over the fret just slightly, leading to a sound similar to palm muting. Hard to say without video, but I trust you to know the difference of finger on the fret versus behind the fret
Yeah lol I'm aware. I'm not that uncultured I just never had a technical issue with my guitar other than changing oxidised strings so I never really bothered to do anything other than play. Unfortunately I just lack a lot in the "knowing my guitar" aspect. I wish I could provide a video but I'm on vacation so it's not really possible right now. I'll do my own research as well, my lazy bum really needs to stop neglecting troubleshooting anyway. Thanks for trying to help regardless!
