Reply:If you tune your guitar to the notes on your tuner (E A D G B E), you will be in "standard tuning".





Guitar is a "C treble" or "concert pitch" instrument, meaning that a when a guitarist plays a written C note, the note that actually sounds is a C.





In comparison, on a "transposing instrument", like a Bb clarinet, the player reads a C in the music, but the note that actually sounds is a Bb. Someone playing an F horn will read a C in the music but when they play it, the note that actually sounds is an F. Many, if not most, woodwinds and brass instruments are transposing instruments; most string instruments, including guitar are non-transposing (C or concert pitch) instruments.





So to tune your guitar in C-standard, you would simply need to be in standard (EADGBE) tuning and play the music as written.
