Tunings and chords - post them here (-:
I did some investigating on one or two of the the web's interactive tuning/chord sites but will report if i find anything else that's interesting, one interactive thingy here for Ukes, Mandolins and Banjos could be useful...
"All chords are calculated and therefore may not be really playable!"
and Alan's open D chart ...

and a tuning guide for Banjos with sound bites...
http://www.get-tuned.com/online_mandolin_tuner.php
For starters here's a GDGB chart i found on the Handmade Music Clubhouse submitted by Billy Freedom, lots here to try out!
...and a link to a new 4 string chord chart by Greasestains...
