Rootless 3-Note Shells

The Shell I voicing of C7susb9 stacks F, Bb and Db from the bottom up: the 4th, minor 7th and flat 9th of the chord. It leaves out the root, C, for the left hand or the bass player to take.

It's one of the Rootless 3-Note Shells voicings: three-note rootless voicings: the 3rd and 7th with one more tone, played over the root. The other for C7susb9 is Shell II.
