How to tune mandolin?

Bluegrass music uses standard tuning for the most part. From the lowest string set to the highest string set the tuning is GDAE. This tuning is the same as a violin or fiddle, but instead of 4 strings it has 4 pairs of strings (2 G strings, 2 D strings, 2 A strings and 2 E strings). While tuning your mandolin stroke one string of a pair and mute the other string using the pick.
