Rootless 3-Note Shells

The Shell I voicing of F#maj7 stacks A#, E# and G# from the bottom up: the major 3rd, major 7th and 9th of the chord. It leaves out the root, F#, 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 F#maj7 is Shell II.
