If you have access to a piano, find the similar E note on the piano and tune your sixth string as similar to the sound of the E note of the piano. Let's go to the next step of how to guitar tune.

You can tune it to 1st E below middle C. do it as accurate as possible if you do not have any other instrument. Now the sixth string is tuned, now u have to tune the rest of the string. First, play the A note on the sixth string which is the fifth fret of sixth string. Now tune the open fifth string until it sounds similar to the A note of sixth string.

Step 3

After tuning the fifth string, play the fifth fret (D note) on the fifth string and tune your open fourth string until it sounds similar to the fifth fret (D note) on the fifth string. Now that your fourth string is tuned, play the fifth fret (G note) on the fourth string and tune your third string until it sounds same to the fifth fret (G note) on the fourth string.

Final step

After finishing tuning your third string, play the fourth fret (B note) on the third string and tune your second string until it sounds similar to the fourth fret (B note) on the third string. Now that your second string is tuned, play the fifth fret (E note) on the second string and tune your first string until it sounds same to the fifth fret (E note) on the second string.
