What specific lesson are you referring to?

An X on tablature string lines means a ghost note: a rhythmic click with no pitch. This is accomplished by muting the string with your fretting hand & strumming or picking as usual. You mute by making enough contact with your finger(s) to stop the string from ringing open, but not so much that you create a pitch at that fret.

Anders demonstrates an example in this lesson.

Hope that helps!
