The best way to Tune your 6 string Electric Guitar to Drop Bb (Rosetta/Sick Puppies) is Via a Chromatic Tuner. If you haven't gotten the income to afford a conventional Electric Guitar/Bass Tuner then You can use internet Tuners by searching: "online tuner"and down-tuning every string. You generally need a heavier or "Thicker" gauge of strings if you're going to be tuning that Low.
The most efficient way would be to purchase a chromatic tuner, which can be programmed for any type of tuning.
Tuning by ear would be more difficult, tune the E string down by ear, you can play it at the same time as the higher D string to match the note.
Tune F# by playing the fourth fret of the D string (F#) and match the pitch on the third string.
Hope this helpled!
To be honest I find it near impossible to tune to DADAAD without breaking the Gstring. So I tune my E,D, and E string to C#, then my A, G, and B strings to G#. Then by putting a capo across the first fret you get your DADAAD tuning and you won't break your G string. I only tune to this to play Hope by Rush, I am not familiar with any other songs in this tuning.
The best way to achieve this tuning is to have a guitar specific for this tuning. A reverse head guitar is the best to use, such as the pic below. You want the heavy string to be as long as possible, best to use Earnie Ball #2214 Mammoth Strings .012-.062. The extended length will help to keep the fat string from buzzing on the frets. You need the length to stretch that string.
Simply detune each of your strings by one semitone (a semitone is the distance in pitech between each fret).
Get standard tuning then go down a semi-tone by twiddling the machine heads till you get the desired pitch.
