I've been mostly playing Octave Mandolins, so Tenor Guitars are new to me. But I've enjoyed these tunings for both:
GDAE
GDAD
GDGD
GCGC
String gauges: 46 - 32 - 22 - 12 (sometimes I beef up the 12 to a 14)
Mainly use these cause I like alternate tunings on guitar like:
DADGAD
DADF#AD (open D)
DGDGBD (open G)
CGCGCE (open C)
So tuning to these other tunings have kind of kept it familiar-ish to my fingers.
