You want the guitarist to tune their top E string up by *eight semitones*???
I'm not a guitarist, but my strong suspicion is there's no way to do
that without serious risk of breaking the string.
It sounds like this part is not playable on a guitar without an
extended fretboard.
Other fretted instruments (i.e. viol and lute) can easily play above
the frets. Can classical guitars? Can electric guitars? Darcy's
right; the strings will break.
