Hi, what sort of tuner are you using? Mine is a cheap one bought online and it gives an alphabetical readout, AND sharps. So if I’m tuning the highest string from E (very slowly slowly does it) I’ll hit D# first, then D ……if I go the WRONG way I’ll hit F, and string break territory. A tip is to loosen your G (standard tuning – it’s a much stronger string, forgiving) and note either mentally, or on paper, which way loosens the string on that side of the neck. Leave it for now and go to your high E and move the opposite way. I’m a leftie so the high 3 strings tighten if i move the top of the tuner AWAY from me, and if I move the top of the tuner towards me they loosen – I guess it is opposite for a rightie. Hope that helps.
