Rootless 3-Note Shells

The Shell I voicing of C#7b5 stacks E#, G and B from the bottom up: the major 3rd, flat 5th and minor 7th 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 C#7b5 is Shell II.
