Haute Gitanerie is a free, interactive toolkit for learning gypsy jazz (jazz manouche) on the guitar. • Arpeggios & chord voicings you can actually SEE on the neck — box & diagonal shapes, positions, note names. • Tune grilles for the standards, with an interactive player: play along, loop any section, transpose to any key, tempo control. • A curated directory of the gypsy-jazz community — players, teachers, resources. Built solo by an engineer learning gypsy jazz himself — no paywall, no ads, a gift to the scene. Still growing, and your feedback shapes what comes next.
