E♭m6 arpeggio & chord for gypsy jazz

The E♭m6 arpeggio is built from the notes E♭ (R), F# (♭3), B♭ (5), C (6). On Haute Gitanerie you can see it across the whole guitar neck — contained position boxes, long diagonal forms, and its parent scale (E♭ Dorian) — with note names in English (C D E) or solfège (Do Ré Mi).

How to practise the E♭m6 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, 6), so you always know where the root, third, fifth sit.
