4-Note Rootless (Type A/B)

The Type B voicing of E#dim7 stacks D, G, G# and B from the bottom up: the diminished 7th, 9th, minor 3rd and flat 5th of the chord. It leaves out the root, E#, 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 others for E#dim7 are Type A and Type C.
