Quote:

what are the scales behind it




I`m not much of a scale player. I usually think in chords and focus on chord tones. And Gypsy per se has a strong focus on chord tones/arpeggios either.

But if that helps, as opposed to Jazz, Gypsy uses alot of Am, Dm, E7, A7, C6/9 stuff. In Jazz you have more flat scales (like Bb, Eb, F, etc)

You just gotta listen to some of the characteristic licks of Gypsy songs and you will quickly understand that idiom.
