Haute Gitanerie is a free, interactive tool for gypsy jazz (jazz manouche) guitar. Play the grilles of the standards: chord grids for Minor Swing, Dark Eyes, Douce Ambiance and more, along with a rhythm backing track (la pompe): loop a section, transpose, set the tempo. And explore any chord's arpeggio and gypsy voicings across the whole neck: as position boxes or long diagonal forms, with the parent scale, in English (C D E) or solfège (Do Ré Mi). A living project, growing with the community.
Frequently asked questions
- Which tunes and grilles are included?
- The gypsy-jazz standards (Minor Swing, Dark Eyes, Douce Ambiance, Nuages, Blues mineur and many more), each with its full chord grid (grille) and a rhythm backing track (la pompe) to play along with, in any key and at any tempo.
- Which arpeggios are included?
- Every root and every common quality: the minor-swing core (Am, Dm, E7) plus m6, m7♭5, diminished, m7, maj7, 6 and augmented.
- What is a position box vs a diagonal form?
- A box keeps the arpeggio inside about five frets across all six strings, compact and easy to memorise, the same idea as the CAGED system. A diagonal form travels up the neck across two or more octaves, the way many manouche players sweep an arpeggio.
- Is it free?
- Completely. Made as a gift for the gypsy jazz community.
