Haute Gitanerie

Fm7♭5 arpeggio for gypsy jazz

The Fm7♭5 arpeggio is built from the notes F (R), G# (♭3), B (♭5), D# (♭7). On Haute Gitanerie you can see it across the whole guitar neck — contained position boxes, long diagonal forms, and its parent scale (F Locrian) — with note names in English (C D E) or solfège (Do Ré Mi), and audio playback.

How to practise the Fm7♭5 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, ♭7), so you always know where the root, third, fifth and seventh sit.
