C#2, G#2, C#3, G#3, G#3, C#4

Yeah I was wondering how you tune your guitar to the examples above. The first note is the low E string and than all the way down for the others. I have an electronic tuner and i'm not sure how to tell if i'm correctly tuning my guitar because I have no idea what all the numbers are after each "#". Please help, thanks.

However, i'm not sure about the actual pitch of these octaves, maybe someone else can help out?

I think the G#3 is the standard for that string so figuring out the rest should be easy if that's the case.

Just a suggestion...tune what are normally your B (2nd) and E (1st) strings to a C and E respectively to make it an actual open chord tuning (of C major). You could also flat the E to E flat and make it an open C minor. I use this tuning all the time; absolutely love it. Maybe you're trying to learn a particular song that uses the specified tuning, in which case disregard my post. But if not, I recommend the full chord versions for more versatility.
