Tenor Mandola Chords

I bought a tenor mandola tuned to CGDA a while ago to pick out a few tunes on. I've really enjoyed it and would now like to experiment with a few chords to see if I can use it to accompany a few songs down at the club.

I'm finding it hard to find chords on the net. Anyone got any ideas and willing to share a few shapes ?

Thanks
Gaucho

You could use mandolin chords. It's a simple transposition - just go one key "sharper" eg if you wanted a G chord, look up D.

Another possibility would be to look for tenor banjo chords. In jazz/standard tuning, its the same as your mandola.

Stu,

Thanks a million, that site is absolutely marvellous not only for my mandola but also for alternative tunings on guitar. It is brilliant.
Many thanks.

Jon, thanks also.
