X can mean open string, or do not play at all, or muted.
If you buy a Guitar-Player magazine or one of the similar mags
there's usually page or two (in the end maybe) explaining about the Tabs.

muted in other words cover the strings with the parm of your hand to make a chuka sound

I know whats on your mind, so dont &#33; ;)

Also, in Sheets i think its called a Rake.

This is quote from Total Guitar, Tab Guide:

X markins represent notes and strings
that are muted by the fretting hand when
struck by the picking hand.

(found a Mag and had to check it out,lol...)
