Here's a tutorial I've taken from one site that explains how to tune the guitar in Nashville tuning.
Step1 Replace the low E string with a lighter gauge string. In Nashville tuning, the four lowest strings are re-tuned an octave higher than normal, so lighter strings are needed to prevent string breaks. For an electric guitar, replace the low E string with a 0.022- to 0.032-gauge string. For an acoustic guitar, Nashville tuning requires a 0.030- to 0.038-gauge string. Step2 Replace the A string. For an electric guitar, replace the A string with an unwound 0.014- to 0.019-gauge string. Some guitarists may prefer to use a heavier, wound string when using Nashville tuning, with 0.022- to 0.026-gauge being popular choices. Acoustic guitars will be well served in Nashville tuning by wound 0.022- to 0.026-gauge strings. Step3 Replace the D string. For an electric guitar, an unwound 0.011- to 0.013-gauge string is best for Nashville tuning. Acoustic guitars use slightly heavier strings, so look for unwound 0.012- to 0.014-gauge strings. Step4 Replace the G string. For an electric guitar, replace the G string with an unwound 0.008- to 0.0013-gauge string. For an acoustic guitar, use an unwound 0.010- to 0.013-gauge string with Nashville tuning. Step5 Tune the replaced strings one octave higher than standard. In standard tuning, the A string on a guitar produces the same pitch as the first A below middle C on a piano, at a frequency of 440Hz. So, in Nashville tuning, the low string will sound the first E above middle C, the A string sounds the first A above middle C and so on. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

Frank Gambale uses another cool tuning.
He tunes the two highest strings down an octave and tunes all of the strings up a prefect fourth. -------------------- Olle "AJ" Svensson
