4-Note Rootless (Type A/B)

The Type B voicing of F#m7b5 stacks E, G#, A and C from the bottom up: the minor 7th, 9th, minor 3rd and flat 5th of the chord. It leaves out the root, F#, 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 F#m7b5 is Type A.
