So, for GCEA tuning, the 4th string is tuned to a G, the 3rd is tuned to a C, the 2nd is tuned to an E, and the 1st is tuned to an A. It’s a strange fact that the strings are numbered in the reverse order compared to the “name” of a tuning. Therefore, I definitely recommend this tuning for getting started. Almost all exercises and e-books on this web page were made for GCEA tuning with high G. This tuning can be used for all soprano, concert and tenor ukuleles.
For the hurried: The most common tuning is GCEA tuning with a high G string.
