Yea, The finger you use on the E string slightly touches the A string to mute it

Cool now I can start working on this once I get Enter Sandman down.

It's is more not played. If was supposed to be muted there is usually a X marking the spot.

I bring this up, because muted does still play some sound depending on how it is played.

So yes, it can be muted, but it is better to not play it.

 

[Gullars]

Personally I would play this with my pick on th E string while using my middle and ring finger on the other two. And totally avoid touching the A string. Sounds a lot cleaner that way.

I stand corrected, sir. Which part of "One" is it anyway? If it's the fast "Darkness, Imprisoning me"!! part, with all the distortion it has at that part I don't think a muted string is going to matter all that much. If its the clean part then yea I guess plucking the strings would sound better.

Its during the choras right as James sings "Hold"

I personally would just do the muted string there. That part is pretty distorted also. But that's just me. I'm sure these other guys are far better musicians than I am. I like the easy way.lol. Especially when your trying to play a song by the master of rhythm guitar (James Hetfield)

Have you heard his solo from the song Suicide & Redemption
It be twisted

 

[Telecaster52]

Personally, i would play that as a stacked power chord

G-0
D-0
A-5
E-3

probably a bit easier than muting the a string, and reinforces the 5th of the chord
