Classical guitar is actually written one octave higher than it sounds
(or vice versa, I forget).  Use the comma to make the actual (as it
sounds) notes one octave lower, to get

e,8\6 e,\6 gis,\6 gis,\6

(for which the \6 actually becomes unnecessary) rather than

e8\6 e\6 gis\6 gis\6

Things will then look right in the tablature.  To compensate for this
in the regular notation, use

\clef "G_8"

rather than the standard treble clef.
