This suggestion is fine for notes at those particular positions on the stave, but for higher or lower notes, a different method is needed. One way is to alter Rest #'staff-position at the Score level:

mus =
{
    \override Score.Rest #'staff-position = #0
    << { e'8 r g' r e'' r g'' r }
    \\ { c'8 r e'8 r c'' r e'' r }
    >>
}

\score
{
    \mus
}

Another way is to adopt Phil's method in one Voice, and use spacer rests in the other Voice:

mus =
{
    << { \override Rest #'staff-position = #0
         e'8 r g' r e'' r g'' r
       }
    \\ { c'8 s e'8 s c'' s e'' s }
    >>
}

\score
{
    \mus
}
