hi all,

apologies if this question has been dealt with but, but i couldn't find it mentioned in the tut or in howard wrights guide.

anyway, my problem is how to play something like this:

-----
-----
77544
-----
55322
00000 etc.

i.e. what do i do with my d string. if it was meant to be an open, or muted would it not be indicated? since the author indicates 0 on e i so i assume s/he would indicate open string elsewhere.

the song (sepultura: kaiowas) is not plucked like i've seen in other tabs where this notation makes sense.

i appreciate your help,
thanks,
harvey.

It would have been better if it had been marked with an x to indicate a mute, but if it is not fingerpicked I would mute the string.
