QUESTION

Im confused, on power tab when you click on the guitar it shows u the tuning right? So anyways my question is. There's a number beside the note (for example C2 F2 Bb2 Eb3 G3 C4) and that's what confuses me because on my tuner theres a number 440Hz and you can go up and down but I just don't get it can someone help please?

The number on your tuner is what the reference point is- usually between 435-445Hz. C2 B3 E2 etc. are the note names and the octave that they are in, C1 being an octave below C2 and so on

I don't think you can, nor do I think you have to.

Your tuner will automatically 'work out' which octave you are in, as you tune down a string, it will start of E2 (we'll use the low E as an example). Then as you tune down past D, C, B, A, G, F, you will get to E again- which will now be E1; an octave below what you first started with. The high E string is E4, because obviously you have an octave (E3) on the D string, 2nd fret
