Looking at the tab, the lower-case o's (not the 0's) can only mean  
that the figure enclosed between the o's is repeated seven times (see  
the "7x" indicated immediately afterward). I don't think I've never  
seen that in tablature before, though.

At first I thought they might mean "mute strings so as not to strike  
them accidentally when playing the F# octave pattern," but if it were  
that, the "o" on the 2nd (B) string wouldn't make sense.
