Hmmm. Assuming the top and bottom string indicate what the basis for the tuning is, the intervals from bottom to top 1,4,b7,b3,5,1. means it would be a Cm7+4 or a Cm11 though it would be odd to have the 11 in the bass. I can sort of see why it was done that way. If you play this at the 8th fret, the C11 covers all six strings on the same fret.
It would be tricky to tune without a tuner.
Here's how I would do it with just the guitar. A string First fret= Bb. 6 string first fret= F. B string fourth fret= Eb. B string first fret =c( tune 1 string only to C at this point). 6 string third fret=G. Now tune the 6 string to the C on the first string and your done. Tune down not up. Good luck.
