The “X” above the low E string on the chord diagram tells you that the string should not be played, so try to avoid it when you strum the chord.
It won’t sound terrible if you do accidentally play the open string, because the E note is part of an A minor chord. However, in general, chords sound best if the bottom note is the root note (in this case an A).
When you’re learning the chord, try playing each of the notes individually to make sure that the notes are fretted correctly and that your fingers aren’t preventing any of the notes from ringing.
I Am...i Said
An A minor chord contains three notes: A, C and E. In all of the A m guitar chords on this page, one or more of these notes is repeated at a different octave in order to give the chord a “bigger” sound (see the A minor Guitar Chord Notes section, further down the page).

In this chord, you’re essentially playing the standard open D minor chord two frets higher, making it an A minor chord. You can play the chord with a barre, by extending the index finger all the way over the top four strings. This would help you change quickly to other barre chords at the second fret, such as D or B minor.
When choosing an A minor chord shape to play, you’ll usually want to select the chord that you can fret the fastest and most comfortably. This will usually be a chord in the same region of the fretboard that you’re already playing in.
For example, if you need to change to Am from Em, and you’re playing the E minor chord at the 7th fret, then in most situations the Am bar chord at the 5th fret would be the logical choice, because it’s only 2 frets away and you’re already playing a barre chord.

If you happened to be playing an open Em chord before the Am chord, then the open Am chord at the top of this page would, in most cases, be the best Am to play.
Although you could play a three-note Am chord on guitar, in most circumstances it probably wouldn’t sound great. Most guitar chords, including the Am guitar chords on this page, double up at least one of the notes in a different octave. This gives the chord a much “fuller” sound.
For example, the open A minor chord at the top of this page, shown below with the notes names given, contains two A notes and two E notes; the only note that isn’t repeated is the C.
