Answer #1

If you put your finger on the 5th fret on the 6th string it should sound the same as the 5th string played open.

Answer #2

thanksss so much.

Answer #3

what emotionalxoxomcr has suggested is called relative tuning, this will tune all the string relative to each other, but may not give you standard tuning. You could use a piano if you have a good ear. The best (and easiest) thing to do is get a tuner.

Just in case you do not know standard tuning is: E (1st string) B (2nd string) G (3rd string) D (4th string) A (5th string) e (6th string)

Answer #4

If you have a good ear you can tune by piano
