The Guide Tones I voicing of G#m7b5 stacks B and F# from the bottom up: the minor 3rd and minor 7th of the chord. It leaves out the root, G#, for the left hand or the bass player to take.

It's one of the Guide Tones voicings: just the 3rd and 7th, the notes that define each chord, played over the root. The other for G#m7b5 is Guide Tones II.
