The Tenor Guitar Bible
The Tenor Guitar Bible: Standard and Irish tuning 2,880 chords by Richard Tobe A.
What is standard tuning for a Tenor Guitar? What is Irish tuning for a Tenor Guitar. I plan very soon to purchase a Tenor Guitar and I want to sort out these different tunings in my head first. I have a Tenor Ukulele tuned G C E A and a Baritone Ukulele tuned D G B E. With my old brain, or whatever is in my head it gets confussing with all of these different tunings. Thank you, johhnysmash

Fifths, like a mandola (or viola), CGDA is considered "standard"
Also fifths but like a mandolin (or violin), GDAE (though many now consider "Irish" tuning to be GDAD) Quote:
Note that all of these tunings require string gauges to suit the tuning and the usual 23" scale length of the guitar. A quick search for "tenor guitar strings" will point you at the most common gauges. Hope this helps... Phil

Phil, Thank you for your excellent response. I have one more question - Is one tuning as beautiful as the other? If so, for sure I will stay with D G B E.
