Haute Gitanerie

G6/9 arpeggio & chord for gypsy jazz

The G6/9 arpeggio is built from the notes G (R), A (9), B (3), D (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 (G major) — with note names in English (C D E) or solfège (Do Ré Mi).

The G6/9 chord

The G6/9 chord voicing uses those same notes (G (R), A (9), B (3), D (5), E (6)). Switch the fretboard to Chords to see gypsy-jazz voicings for G6/9, or keep Arpeggio to practise the tones one at a time — same shape, two ways to hear it.

How to practise the G6/9 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.
