As I wrote in previous comment, I do not have B string so I often play chords without third. Fingering 2222 has the notes EAea. If there is need to distinguish A and Am, I have to play C# note at 6th fret of one of G string or C note at 5th fret. So the voicing would be: A = 2226 (or 2622), Am = 2225 (or 2522).
The other option for A is to use F chord shape (with thumb on 4th string) 3532 and shift it up the neck to 7976. Am would then be 7975.
do you happen to know how to tune a tenor guitar???

That sounds good, but why are A and Am the same fingering?

Is that your own way of tuning the tenor banjo or is it standard? I am impressed.

Standard (or one of standards) is CGda. My DGdg tuning mimics the 5-string banjo tuning gDGBD. I have no B string and my high g is on the other side.
