4-Note Rootless (Type A/B)

The Type B voicing of Amaj7#11 stacks G#, B, C# and D# from the bottom up: the major 7th, 9th, major 3rd and sharp 11th of the chord. It leaves out the root, A, for the left hand or the bass player to take.

It's one of the 4-Note Rootless (Type A/B) voicings: four-note rootless voicings in their two forms, with the 3rd or the 7th on the bottom, played over the root. The other for Amaj7#11 is Type A.
