The Guide Tones I voicing of E6 stacks G# and C# from the bottom up: the major 3rd and 6th of the chord. It leaves out the root, E, for the left hand or the bass player to take.

It's one of the Guide Tones voicings: just the 3rd and 7th, the notes that define each chord, played over the root. The other for E6 is Guide Tones II.
