The "X" signifies the muting/dampening of the string.
Suggestions: play the 7 on A with your index finger. Play the 9 on D with
your 4th (out of 5) finger. Play the 10 on D with your pinky. Play the 7
on with your 3rd finger and leave it there - don't lift it for the
remainder of the measure. Play the 10 on A with the 4th, play the 9 on B
also with the 4th and hold it there to ring out for the rest of the
measure. Keep the E and A string as a steady drone.

E---0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--|--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--|
Play all 4 measures over and over, etc...
Suggestions: same fingering for the third measure as the first. I find
it easiest to play the 7-7 in the fourth measure with my 3rd and 4th
fingers. Then when I hit the 6 on D, I can use my index finger without
lifting my third finger up. Let the first 6 on D ring for that extra
eighth note. Let the 7 on G ring for the remainder of the measure.
