Haute Gitanerie

F arpeggio for gypsy jazz

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

How to practise the F 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.
