    Any tuner will do as long as it has a little built in mic in it, most do. You should get one that's chromatic. It would be written on the box, that way you can try alternate tunings if you want later on. After you get a bit more used to playing you will be able to tune it by ear, you just need to develop your hearing a little first.
    Also no normal tuners tune the guitar by itself, all it does is tell you what note the string is and you play the string and turn the tuner yourself. You might be thinking of one that attaches to the headstock, that doesn't actually tune the guitar by itself though.
