Half-Shell Voicing
3 – R – 7
Prove it — just do the practice exercise.
CMaj7 Half Shell
E (3)C (R)B (7)
The Half-Shell Voicing reverses the shell formula:
• 3rd on bottom
• Root in the middle
• 7th on top
Very compact — notes are close together. Ideal for the left hand.
Example: CMaj7 Half-Shell = E + C + B
• 3rd on bottom
• Root in the middle
• 7th on top
Very compact — notes are close together. Ideal for the left hand.
Example: CMaj7 Half-Shell = E + C + B
