Haute Gitanerie

Cm6/9 arpeggio for gypsy jazz

The Cm6/9 arpeggio is built from the notes C (R), D (2), D# (♭3), G (5), A (6). On Haute Gitanerie you can see it across the whole guitar neck — contained position boxes, long diagonal forms, and its parent scale (C Dorian) — with note names in English (C D E) or solfège (Do Ré Mi), and audio playback.

How to practise the Cm6/9 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, 2, ♭3, 5, 6), so you always know where the root, third, fifth and seventh sit.
