Rootless 3-Note Shells

The Shell II voicing of Ab7susb9 stacks Gb, A and Db from the bottom up: the minor 7th, flat 9th and 4th 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 Ab7susb9 is Shell I.
