Yes this is NOOB question but im just learning how to play now..... anywayz, you know when your reading tablature, there are sometimes x's,? well what does the x's mean to do.? it says '' x - play 'note' with heavy damping'' It says that but what exaclty what do i do.? how do i play the note with heavy damping? shank you very much ahead of time if u can help.
Basically, doesn't the X mean not to play, so you put your hand on that string light enough so that it doesn't play, and then just strum?
The x means that you mute it. When you mute on a guitar, you technically lightly put your finger over the string, not so much that you touch the fret, just lightly, and continue strumming.
Well, at least the originator of the thread could be sure that that is, indeed, the defination of that little X. I, too, wondered what it meant. Now I won't be so confused whenever I look at tabs. Thanks you three!
