    Ehhh.... can you elaborate here... you just use the tuning pegs at the end of the headstock. Do you have a tuning pedal or other electronic device which tells you the pitch of the strings?

    Tune the A string down half a step
    Tune the G string down half a step
    Tune the high E string up a step.

    As feylya said, but A string down a full step.

    If you currently do this:
    6 String Guitar Tuning
    Here's how you tune from a perfectly tuned Low E note.

    1. Hold down the 5th fret of the Low E string and pluck it and the A string
    2. Listen for a beating or pulsating. The faster the beating the more out of tune it is.
    3. Adjust the A string until there is virtually no beating.
    4. Hold the 5th fret of the A string and pluck it and the D string.
    5. Repeat again holding the 5th fret of the D string to tune the G string.
    6. Repeat again holding the 4th fret of the G string to tune the B string.
    7. Repeat again holding the 5th fret of the B string to tune the E string.

    then these are the changes you make.

    step 1. Hold down 3th fret....
    4. ...7th fret...
    5. ...4th fret...
    6. ...5th fret...
    7. ...7th fret...
