the tuning can be the same, but just hit the strings in this pattern: 2nd – 1st – 1st – 3rd

you can, but the guitar would have to be tuned down significantly (C-F-Bb-Eb-G-C) because the object that you put under the strings will increase the tension on the strings, so the higher you tune it, the more likely your strings would break. put the object under the strings before you tune it. hope that helped!
