Haute Gitanerie

A arpeggio for gypsy jazz

The A arpeggio is built from the notes A (R), C# (3), E (5). On Haute Gitanerie you can see it across the whole guitar neck — contained position boxes, long diagonal forms, and its parent scale (A major) — with note names in English (C D E) or solfège (Do Ré Mi), and audio playback.

How to practise the A arpeggio

Start with a contained position box near the low strings, then move it up the neck fret by fret, or follow a diagonal form for a two-octave sweep in the manouche style. Every note is labelled with its interval (R, 3, 5), so you always know where the root, third, fifth sit.
