Shell Chord?
Hey guys. When I was just starting playing back earlier this year, a friend of mine who is pretty good told me to learn some shell chords, but never told me what they were.... Is this common terminology? If so, what are they?

Shell chords are chords made of the ROOT, 3rd, 7th.
so, in the key of "C" that`ll be:
[C,E,B]
which in other words is a Cmaj7 chord without the perfect fifth.
The root "C", determines the tone;
The 3rd "E", denotes the quality of major.
The 7th "B" tells you the extension.

[C,E,B]

The 7th "B" tells you the extension.

if you make a shell chord from the "C minor scale" you get:
[C,Eb,Bb]
where:
C is the root,
Eb denotes the quality of minor chord,
Bb is the extended seventh.
Thus, we are talking about a minor seventh chord without the perfect fifth.
[C,Eb,Bb]
where:
C is the root,
Eb denotes the quality of minor chord,
Bb is the extended seventh.
Thus, we are talking about a minor seventh chord without the perfect fifth.

If it isnt a problem, could someone put that into tab form for me? I know nothing about guitar theory yet.

hmm...interesting. I've never heard the term for it...I just called it "leaving out the fifth," haha. I think it must be a guitar thing.
