A free interactive tool for gypsy jazz — arpeggios, chords, play-along standards

axel · 4:07AM

Hello everyone, long-time lurker here. I'm a software engineer learning gypsy jazz, and I built a free tool to help me practice. Sharing it in case it's useful to others.

Haute Gitanerie https://www.haute-gitanerie.com. It's free, no signup, no ads, works offline, bilingual EN/FR:

- Arpeggios in any key across the whole neck — compact position boxes or the long diagonal manouche forms.

- Compare two arpeggios: overlay them to see the shared tones between chords (useful for lines over changes).

- Real gypsy chord voicings (m6, 6/9, dim, m7b5, and so on).

- The standards with a metronome and play-along: a chord ribbon that scrolls with the tune, transpose to any key, adjust the tempo.

- On the neck view you see the current and next chord, and can overlay their arpeggios.

- New: you can build your own tune charts and submit them to add to the library.

It is a living project. A few diagonal fingerings are still marked work-in-progress while I confirm the idiomatic shapes (i'm quite a beginner in the style), and the repertoire is small but growing. I would genuinely value corrections from players who know more than I do.

I am not selling anything; Except my socials (insta / youtube) where i share mostly other musicians playing. I am a player/builder doing this for the love of it. Feedback, wrong shapes, tunes you would like added : all very welcome. Thanks, and thanks for this forum, it has been a huge resource.
