Yeah, you're right about the chords!
Root+triad+5th = basic chord...
Now for muting, that's the hard part.
I use my right hand palm to mute the strings I don't want to hear.
It takes time and patience. You can also use part of your left hands. When you play a note, try to make that finget touch the string next to that note. Just touch it, but don't put any pressure on it. You just want to mute that.
It takes a while to "train" your fingers to do, but it pays off!
