x in tab

[themaestro78]

OK silly newbie question how exactly am I supposed to play an x in tabs? Rest a finger of the fretting hand on the string or a finger of my plucking hand near the bridge? Any input would be helpful

It's a muted note. I play them by releasing pressure in my fretting hand so I'm not actually sounding a note, it's more of a "thud".

Thanks. I couldn't find a clear answer online to save my life

Also, if you use more than one finger on the fretting hand (if possible) you will not get any harmonics, which may or may not suit the situation.
