3. Arpeggios

Arpeggios are the bases for many Gypsy Jazz solos. In this section, I'll show some common
Arpeggio pattern that can be moved all over the fretboard.

Sixth String Root Am arpeggio:

e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-----------------8-------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------7---------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------5-7-8-----------------------------------------------------------|
A|-------5-----------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-5-7-8-------------------------------------------------------------------|

Cmaj Arpeggio:
e|-------------8-----------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------5-8-------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-------5-----------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-----5-------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---7---------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-8-----------------------------------------------------------------------|

Fifth String Root Dm Arpeggio:

e|-------------------10----------------------------------------------------|
B|----------------10-------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------7-9-10----------------------------------------------------------|
D|-------7-----------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-5-7-8-------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|

4. Diminished Runs/Chords/Arpeggios

Diminished Runs, Chords, and Arpeggios are common part of Gypsy Jazz. Diminished runs
consist of playing diminished chords every three semitones, i.e.:

e|-3-----3-6-----6-9------9-12-------12-15-------15------------------------|
B|-----2-------5-------8----------11----------14--------etc.---------------|
G|---3-------6-------9---------12----------15------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Diminished Arpeggio:
e|-----------------------8-11----------------------------------------------|
B|------------------7-10---------------------------------------------------|
G|--------------5-8--------------------------------------------------------|
D|----------4-7------------------------------------------------------------|
A|------3-6----------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--2-5--------------------------------------------------------------------|

Here, we started the arpeggio on an F. Then, on the B string, we jump two frets to F, instead
of Fb.

5. Chromatic Runs
Chromatic Runs are used quite often in Gypsy Jazz. A good example would be the chromatic
run from Minor Swing:

e|-3-2-1-0---------------------------------------1/4-7-7-5-----------------|
B|---------4-3-2-1-0---------------------------3----------5----------------|
G|-------------------3-2-1-0-----------------1-------------5---------------|
D|---------------------------4-3-2-1-0-1-2-3----------------7--------------|
A|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Here's another example:

e|-------------------------------------------------0-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10--|
B|---------------------------------------0-1-2-3-4-------------------------|
G|-------------------------------0-1-2-3-----------------------------------|
D|---------------------0-1-2-3-4-------------------------------------------|
A|-----------0-1-2-3-4-----------------------------------------------------|
E|-0-1-2-3-4---------------------------------------------------------------|
