One of the exceptions, since this is played on the Banjitar. But the same as standard guitar tuning, unless an alt-tuning is used.

His first appearance on Beato's channel is here: https://youtu.be/PLIZZ9lIlwg

BEATO: "I interview world famous acoustic guitarist Tommy Emmanuel. At the age of six, he was touring Australia with his family band. By 30, he was a rock lead guitarists playing stadiums. At 44, he become one of five people ever named a Certified Guitar Player (CGP) by his idol, music icon Chet Atkins. Influenced by, the Merle Travis/Chet Atkins fingerstyle of guitar picking, Tommy developed a style of solo guitar playing that encompasses the range of a whole band - covering drums, bass, rhythm, lead guitar and vocal melody simultaneously."
