F#6/9 arpeggio & chord for gypsy jazz
The F#6/9 arpeggio is built from the notes F# (R), A♭ (9), B♭ (3), C# (5), E♭ (6). 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).

How to practise the F#6/9 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, 9, 3, 5, 6), so you always know where the root, third, fifth sit.
