I'm learning to play guitar. I've been practicing off tabs. How are you supposed to play it when a tab lists multiple strings stacked like so but not nessicarily those notes (Please don't laugh at my n00bery. I'm just a poor trumpet player trying to pick up another instrument. My mind isn't trained to work with a guitar yet...).

Either use multiple fingers or mute the strings in between. Easiest way, if you're using a pick, is to use the pick for the 3 and use your middle, ring or pinky finger for the 0, whichever is most comfortable.

You can also strum it like so 3x5--- since the 0 is just the octave of the 3 and identical to the 5th fret on the D string. In which case I would use both my index finger and the tip of my ring finger to mute the A string while the fret the notes on the E and D strings.

Thanks.
