There are numerous on-line guitar tuners, where you tune to the tone.
Aside from that you can do a relative tuning, meaning that the strings will be tuned correctly based on 1 string which is probably tuned incorrectly. You won’t be able to play with others but you’ll be able to make music.
Tune the bottom E String to what you believe it should sound like. The A string should be tuned to the tone of the 5 fret on the bottom E string or 6th string. Continue in this pattern tuning the string below to the corresponding fret on the string above.
A – 5th fret E string 6
D – 5th fret A string 5
G – 5th fret D string 4
B – 4th fret G string 3
E – 5th fret B string 2
