4-Note Rootless (Type A/B)

The Type B voicing of E6 stacks C#, F#, G# and B from the bottom up: the 6th, 9th, major 3rd and 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 other for E6 is Type A.
