Unless you have experience or a pro tuner guiding you, it's extremely difficult to tune a piano, as there are many complicated problems.
On a guitar, you have six strings to tune, then you're done. You don't have to tune each fret afterwards : all the semi-tones are already ready and in place.
On a piano, you have to tune all the semi-tones. And this is the main problem. There are no fixed frets or shortcuts - you have to make sure everything is right.
Regardless what you use as a reference to start with, you will end up realizing that equal temperament (or any other temperament) involves tuning every note a tiny off the right "classical just" interval. Then you have to make sure all intervals makes sense with each other. Then, you often have two or three strings to tune for each key - some tuners tune them perfectly equal, and others prefer to leave a tiny "chorus like" difference between them. What should you do, and why?
And then, after you're done with about 30 keys out of the 88, you realize that piano strings are inharmonic, which means they don't produce exactly the perfect harmonics needed with one another - something that would make the tuning much easier. This inharmonicity problem creates another headache : you have to "stretch" the octaves for the lower and upper registers, because this phenomenon gives the impression that you go out of tune as you go on the lower and upper ends of the keyboard.
And of course, we haven't mentioned other facts, like the more you wait to tune a piano, the faster the instrument will "lose" its new tuning. And what do you do if a string breaks when you tune it?
So again... Unless you have a crappy old upright that's falling apart to experiment, let a pro take care of this.
