If it happens only on your guitar, you've got a problem with your guitar.

If it happens on every guitar you play, you need to build up your hand strength and work on fretting barre chords.

One of your fingers thats not supposed to be on that string might be slightly touching the string and muting it.

It is possible you have a dead fret or frets on your guitar, but most likely it is that you are not fretting the guitar (mashing down hard enough) correctly. My suggestion is to go to a pawn shop and buy the cheapest acoustic guitar you can find that will stay in tune and learn how to make all of those notes sound off on that with .013 strings on it. Once you are able to make that monster fret, you will be able to fret any chord your fingers can reach on the electric.

Damn good suggestion Bryant! Excercise your hands to put strength in it.

I agree, with everyone. I'm doing the same thing right now practicing on an acustic I just bought. It's tough but You'll get better, just keep trying till your fingers hurt, take a break and start again. You gotta get those fingers strong.

I dont think its a question of finger strength but I am starting to think that the neck may be the problem since they still don't sound perfectly clear even when tuned to C
