firstly, tune the lowest string so that the 6th fret is the same as the open 5th string. this makes the lowest string Eb. Then tune the 5th string so it is the same as the 5th fret of the lowest string (Ab). then tune the 4th string so it is the same as the 5th fret of the 5th string (Db). Tune the 3rd string so it is the same as the 5th fret of the 4th string (Gb). Tune the 2nd string so it is the same as the 4th fret of the 3rd string (Bb). Tune the top string so it is the same as the 5th fret of the 2nd string. The guitar is now in Eb tuning (a semi tone lower the standard tuning). Finally, tune the lowest string so the 7th fret is the same as the open 5th string. Now the guitar should be in Drop C# tuning C# G# C# F# A# D#.
