Sounds like you've got your hands full with that one! tuning (from highest sounding string) is: f (like 6th string 1st fret on guitar) d (like 5th string 3rd fret on guitar) a (4th string 2nd fret etc..) F (3rd string 3rd fret) D (open 3rd) A (open 2nd) top 7 bass strings vary but often are: G...F...Eb...D...C...Bb...A... so the whole thing is f..d..a..F..D..A..G..F..Eb..D..C..Bb..A (a descending scale from here^) Hope this helps and good luck!
