It could mean palm muting, if you have a video it is easy to verify, but most of the time it means quieter piano. Double "pp" means even quieter pianissimo. Mind you, that is kind of what a palm muting does so you won't be far off except it will sound very compressed as well. Regarding ghost notes crosses on the TABs you just play them by lifting your finger so that it does not touch the fret board, just resting lightly on the string.
If you know how to do harmonics, this is basically doing the same except your finger is not somewhere on the string where you can hear harmonics.
If you rest your finger right in the middle of the string fret 12 then you will hear harmonics instead of a ghost note. It generally happens incidentally in 2 cases. One is when you strum a chord but you want to ignore a string in between 2 strings. You have no choice but to rest your finger on this string so that we don't hear the open string. The other case is when sometimes when changing chords people play the open strings while moving to the next chords to avoid a blank.
But when the open string notes are not in the key they are playing in, it can sound disgraceful. Then in this case they might rest their fingers so that we hear ghost notes instead. And then obviously ghost notes can also be stylistic like the ones in "Smells like teen spirit" main riff. Sign up to join this community. The best answers are voted up and rise to the top.

X markings represent notes and strings that are muted by your fret hand when struck by your picking hand. Fret the first note here, the 5th fret and bend up to the pitch of the bracketed note, before releasing again.
Bend up to the pitch shown in the brackets, then re-pick the note while holding the bent note at the pitch shown. Silently bend the string up from the 5th fret PB5 to the pitch of the 7th fret note, pick it and release to the 5th fret note. Pick the note then bend up a quarter-tone a very small amount. Your fretting hand vibrates the string by small bend-ups and releases.
Pick the note while lightly touching the string directly over the fret indicated. A chiming harmonic results. After fretting the note in the triangle, dig into the string with the side of your thumb as you sound it with the pick. Place your finger on the note as shown, but sound it with a quick pick hand tap at the fret shown TH17 for a harmonic.
The note is picked as shown, then the vibrato bar is raised and lowered to the pitches shown in brackets. Scoop: depress the bar just before striking the note and release. Doop: lower the bar slightly after picking note. A note is sustained then the vibrato bar is depressed to slack. The most popular method is probably the palm mute. This is where the edge of the palm of the picking hand is placed at the very base of the strings.
The strings should be strummed downward, lowest notes first. The strings should be strummed upward, highest notes first. Symbol Meaning W Whole note. Hold the note for the duration of 1 measure. The whole note is the only note whose duration depends on the time signature. H Half note. Hold the note for 2 beats. Q Quarter note. Hold the note for 1 beat.
E Eighth note. S Sixteenth note. T Thirty-secondth note. X Sixty-fourth note. L Tied note. Hold the preceding note for the indicated duration of the preceding note, plus the indicated duration of the tied note L.
For example, if the preceding note is a quarter note and the tied note is an eighth note, play the note for a quarter beat plus an eighth beat. Doted note. A dot adds half of the dotted note's duration to that note. For example, a dotted half note means to play a half note plus a quarter note, or 3 beats. In general, a tuplet is a consecutive group of the same notes whose total value is equal to the next highest note value of the notes that make up the tuplet.
For example, a triplet is 3 consecutive notes of the same value whose total value is equal to the next highest note value of the notes that make up the triplet. Say the triplet is made up of 3 eighth notes.
This would indicate that the 3 eighth note's total duration makes up 1 quarter note.
