guitar string accuracy

I used to be a bassist, and i just got my guitar. I am trying to play santa monica, which the riff minly invloves the e and a string. I cant hit just those 2 strings without hitting the d string. ALso sometimes when i just pick the seperate string the note sounds fine but when i strum i get a vibrating sound

What i do is to use the finger thats on the a string to mute the d string. To do this, lay your finger over all strings up to the a string.
The row of I's is your finger.

E----------------------------|
A------I---------------------|
D------I---------------------|
G------I---------------------|
B------I---------------------|
e------I---------------------|

now bend the joint at the top of your finger, such that your finger is lightly touching the D string, and/or the rest of the strings.
Here is a link to a simple picture to help clarify.
