Rootless 3-Note Shells

The Shell I voicing of Ab7#5 stacks C, E and Gb from the bottom up: the major 3rd, sharp 5th and minor 7th of the chord. It leaves out the root, Ab, 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 Ab7#5 is Shell II.
