- Rootless 3-Note Shells
The Shell I voicing of Dbm9 stacks Fb, Cb and Eb from the bottom up: the minor 3rd, minor 7th and 9th of the chord. It leaves out the root, Db, 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 Dbm9 is Shell II.
