4-Note Rootless (Type A/B)

The Type B voicing of G#maj7 stacks F##, A#, B# and D# from the bottom up: the major 7th, 9th, major 3rd and 5th 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#maj7 is Type A.
