Rootless 3-Note Shells

The Shell I voicing of E6 stacks G#, C# and F# from the bottom up: the major 3rd, 6th and 9th of the chord. It leaves out the root, E, 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 E6 is Shell II.
