Re: Question- Please Answer this

It looks like you play the two (or three) strings (at different fret) at the same time.  Just don't play the X'd out strings.  Notice there is two fret gap throughout the progression.  So, you change both fingers two frets throughout.

Re: Question- Please Answer this

barre at the 8th fret

put your 2nd finger on the 2nd string 9th fret

deaden the 3rd and 4th strings by resting your 3rd and 4th finger lightly on them

that may not be the best way but will work with some practice

(think of the Am barre shape with some left hand muting)
