Reading the Guitar Tabs. "X" mark?

Question

im learning guitar on my own right now. but The X's on the tablature confuses me, what is it? How do I read it? And play it?

Answer 1

the only thing to do is try them and figure out the finger positions yerself. guitar isn't one of those things somebody can tell you  how to do. you gotta feel yer way through it like slipping your hand under her jeans and sliding it under her panties and feeling around in the dark. the more you do it and the better you get at it, the better she's gonna squeal with delight.

Answer 2

Ojkay an X means mute. it means you do not press down the note but you lightly lay your finger on top of the string. You hit this string like any other string it just makes a dead sorf of speak sound X's are commonly used in octaves such as this

e---

b---

g 7

d x

a 5

e---

^low

this means that you press firmly on the fifth fret on the a string with you pointer and firmly on the seventh fret with your pinky on the g string then also with your pointer you gently rest it on the d string and you strum the a d and g strings at the same time

This is a muted note.

Answer 3

Dead note.  Mute it.

Answer 4

that's a mute just put your finger over it. you use mutes a lot when you play octaves  

Answer 5

An "x" means you don't play the string. You can mute the string with your finger LIGHTLY so it doesn't make a sound.
