Danny you've made a rare error and I can only put it down to your excitement at a new life in Texas. Punky Boy, you need to fret the E string at the 4th fret and tune the open A to this, then fret the E string at the 5th fret and de tune the E until it's the same as the open A, now do the standard 5th fret tuning on the other two strings. Shame on you Danny
Using a Tuner/Metronome to get it there helps out if Marko's explanation confuses you. then match up the 5th and 7th fret harmonics.
when i play with GNR i usually just put the song on and play along with it. but it wont sound right if you dont drop down lol so you have to ignore the fact it sounds a bit off if ya dont tune down
