yep, that would be standard Eb like g_d said. just so you know, this should be in "tab questions and requests."

G_D, just for the record, i believe diabolus was also in standard C# tuning. now they're going to use 7 strings on the new album. can't wait

the b refers to flat. between D and E there is another note. this is called a flat. it's a half step between. the real flat symbol isnt really a little b, but it looks similar

you can buy a 13 dollar tuner, plug in, and tune down your guitar slowly. Eb is very close to e natural, which is what you are in now

or if you dont have/want a tunor. fret your 4th fret on low E and tune your A string to match it, then tune everything else from harmonics

Basically: every string goes one fret lower. Easy-peasy.
