Okay, this may not be the greatest advice, but i've just tuned the 6th string to a note that sounded close to an E - or what ever it originally was(if you have another instrument, play an E on that), then go from there - the 5th string should be the same as the 6th if u are on the 5th fret and so on, EXCEPT for the 2nd string, it's the same as the 3rd string, 4th fret. Sorry if this doesn't help

You can actually download an tuner. Idk if they still got it, but I went to www.download.com and typed in guitar tuner or tuner or guitar. But it's basically free and you hold your mic up to your guitar, and start tuning. There's a bunch of different options on different tunings great lil thing to have. If they don't have it, give me your yahoo messenger addy or msn messenger addy and i'll send it over.

or....you can opt by punching a cow in their gut, which will make a low E sound, and you can tune from that.

well lets say you have your 6th string tunes, your top string go on the 5th fret and pluck it, it should sound like the sting below, tune acordingly, this applys except for the second string, the way you tune that string is by going to the 4th fret and plucking that one appropiatly, then back to the 5th fret for the 1st string, have fun!

The problem might be to find the sound you can tune your guitar to. Best find some tuner, possibly an online tuner. I used a whistle-like toy made in china for a couple of years. It has some tins inside and works like a harmonica, but with just 6 sounds.

If you can't find a tuner, there are still some other possibilities. You can get the low e from the Nothing Else Matters intro. Yep, tune the low string to the CD.

The last possibility is ti pick up a phone receiver. Everywhere in the world, in Europe, America, Asia, and here in Poland, you'll here the F sound as a signal. Thet's your D4 sting 3rd fret.

The rest is simple.

Compare the low E6 5th fret to empty A5. A5 5th fret - empty D4. D4 5th fret - empty G3, G3 4th fret - empty B2, B2 5th fret, empty E1.

if you've got a cellular with a programmable ring-tone, put "E1 A 1 D2 G2 B2 E3" on it as some sort of a ringtone. Save it. And then use that to tune your guitar to.

(sad as it is, I've got a "ringtone" like that saved to my cellular, labeled "standard tu." )

You know what, here's the link http://superdownload...oad/i16526.html it's in like German or idk something. but click on the blue link, below the red lettering. and it'll take you to a new page and it should start downloading. Try it out, it's a really good program.

You can do open tunings, Open G tunings, Open D Tunings, there's like 40 diff. tunings for it, and of course, the regular Standard E Tuning. There ya, everyone check it out, pretty nifty program and I use it a lot at home.
