4-Note Rootless (Type A/B)

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