That's just standard tuning down a half step listed backwards, so just drop each string flat one half step.

Yeah, either using your finger and a tuner if you have a chromatic-tuner. Or just put a capo on the first fret, tune to standard tuning then remove the capo.

Put your thumb and index finger on the tuning head and twist, baby.

WAIT A MINUTE!!!!! 
Eb,Bb, Gb, Db, Ab, Eb this is NOT a half step down! A half step down would be Eb,Ab,Db,Gb,Bb,Eb (Note the transposed d and g)
Unless A.)my eyes have it wrong or B.) silver68 wasn't paying attention... This looks likes a 5th interval tuning (Tunes across on the seventh fret in which case the most effective way to tune the guitar would be... to make up a tuning specific string set.
When I try stuff like this I usually start with a bass string and work my way up to a .9 on the high string. You can buy individual string on most music web sites.
If I'm wrong I'll punish myself with an extra 6 hours of practice this weekend!

I just wrote it backwards that's all, My bad.
Thanks for that Silver -- You really are one great poet as well as a songwriter with a mind of your own. Really- Dorio

Hey rasav, enjoy the extra practice.
Silver68, that's how I tune my 12 string.

O.K. Now I'm interested... step by step how do you tune your guitar toEb-Bb-Gb-Db-Ab-Eb mostly I'm interested in how you get the G-d-a-e bit with out your stings sounding really slack. When I try It I have to use an A string for the G and a D string in the G string spot.

Silver68 wrote the strings backwards Eb-Bb-Gb-Db-Ab-Eb. He meant to write Eb-Ab-Db-Gb-Bb-Eb.
