- Rootless 3-Note Shells
The Shell I voicing of C6 stacks E, A and D from the bottom up: the major 3rd, 6th and 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 C6 is Shell II.
