Bb is probably B flat, which is the same as A Sharp. or A#
Not sure on the tuning, sure someone will turn up at some point and fill that in for you.

If your tuner does flats, set it to bbb (three flats) and tune it to pitch. That will tune your guitar 1 1/2 steps down, with your low E at C#.

It would still read as E, but it would be tuning to Eb, D, C#, etc.
If your tuner only has two flats, you can set it to bb and fret the string at the first fret and tune it. It won't be perfect, but it'll work.

A Db is the same as a C# or just tune the 6 string to the same tone as the C# on the 5 string fourth fret and tune up from there.

err I think i got it but what I am looking for is this
1 C# 4 B
2 G# 5F#
3 E 6 C#
what would this look like on a tuner I have the 6th string now a Db sounds about right so do I do the same for the rest and tune from the 4th fret? sorry for all these questions but when it comes to tuning Im in the dark.
