Your friends don't know much about guitar.

Tune every string down a semitone. Normal tuning is EADGBe.

okay this is just a wild stab in the dark but i guess you wont know wot a half tone is so here goes... its one fret! wow impressive even if i do say so myself! move from the original fret your on down or up by one fret then you will have moved half a tone move two frets and its a tone!
b= flat - go down 1 fret from said note
#= sharp - go up 1 fret from said note

I'm crap at trying to explain tunings, i know how to do it myself, but telling someone else its like im speaking in circles in the language of furbish.

They have books on tunings, that have a number of different ones in them. They show you how to tune, what strings, frets, or harmonics to judge by.
