Rootless 3-Note Shells

The Shell II voicing of A9sus4 stacks G, B and D from the bottom up: the minor 7th, 9th and 4th of the chord. It leaves out the root, A, 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 A9sus4 is Shell I.
