I can't tune it now, because everyone else is in bed and I would wake them up, but yeah, give me some tips.

Ok, first, get the low E on the piano. Again, can't specify what octave. Now, the next string should be tuned to the fifth fret of the low E. In other words, they sound exactly the same. Next, The D string should match the 5th fret of the A string. The G string should go in the same manner. However, the B string, should match the 4th fret of the G, not the 5th. The High E is again the 5th fret.

You have to make sure it's very precise, though, and try to make sure the high E sounds like the low E.

Figured as much. I'd like one of those for my metal, but I wouldn't mind too much if I couldn't.

You would need 6 fingers to be able to play it effectively.

Just for chords. Power chords would be a breeze. And riffs. Don't forget those.

What are power chords?

5th chords basically. In standard tuning, it's two frets above that of the string below it.

It's pretty darn simple. Look them up. There's bound to be a diagram somewhere on the web.
