Well, I can't either
But I can identify resonance. Therefore, if I can get the tuning right on any one string with a tuner, I can tune the rest by ear.
The main concept you need to know is beats. This is not the music theory "beats" but acoustics beats. When two sounds of similar (but not same) frequency is played together, you can hear the the resulting sound pulsates (called waxing and waning). The faster the pulsating, the more out of tune the strings are. Therefore, while tuning, you must fret the note you want on a string that is already tuned, play this and the string you want to tune together and compare the beats. Then you gradually adjust the string tension to reduce the beats until they are non-existent (resonance). This means that the string is now tuned. You can repeat these steps for the rest of the strings.
Edit : The same procedure can be used if you don't have a tuner. You can play a sound of say, the Low E string (E2, appx 82Hz) on your cellphone as a MP3 file or on your keyboard and you can use the same technique above to tune the strings.

I just realized that I can play lead better than chords lol
Got the special 20 key in C. Found it pretty easy compared to the earlier suzuki one in key G.
Best portable instrument to indulge into

I use this site to tune the guitar (or at-least one string).
play the open string and let it rung, then the vibration of the guitar & tuner syncs (not sure if its the right word)

@srmish - very good.
You've got a very good voice.
But at many times I felt that you suppress your voice.
Ps: song was also nice, never heard.

My experience says that practicing with harmonium gives you good breath. A keyboard was never meant to sing together with.
