How do you do this? Options

[Guitar1969]

I have seen guitar tabs at various sites that show a chord, but one of the strings in the middle of the chord tab will be "x" - I understand it means you are not supposed to play that string, and can gather that we must mute it some way, but how is the best way to do accomplish this. Obviously if one of the end strings is supposed to not be played(Like an open D Major chord) its easy, you just don't hit that string, but I can't seem to figure out how to do it when the string is a middle string(such as the G string) I have tried putting light pressure on that string so when I play it, it doesn't ring out, but can't seem to get it right.

Any thoughts, hints, tricks.

Thanks,

hi
i've looked it up and i found 6 chords that have a muted string that is in the middle
i reccomend you look them up too couse there's a lot off chords

if you cannot master or still have troubles with the technique i mensioned earlier there are sometimes ways of simplifie those chords which could be done by using the barré-chord on that or have the alternative chording for which you do not have to mute the string and even though it sounds exactly the same it is played on another fret(but not every chord has that alternative),
