Hey everyone,

I just started playing barre chords and I finally got a finger position where I can get good tone out of every string without muting any, even the minor string when I remove my middle finger. I have only been practicing the E major shaped F chord and the Am shaped B chord. But I have some questions abot my finger placement. Here are some picture

So my main question is: is it proper form for my index finger to be so high above the low E string? From what I have seen on this site and YouTube, most players have their index fingertip right on the low E string. But If I lower my index finger I wind up muting the B or high E string. So is what I have good or is it improper and I should try to learn barring with my finger lower?
