I watched Paul David's video on shell voicings (below) and I really like the sound. Its amazing to me, since I've been playing full bar chords, chords with mostly their notes on strings next to each other, and single notes. I've only played the major and minor triad shell voicings, though I'm excited to explore more. 

How have you got on with shell voicings? Anything you want to share about them?

I think they are real helpful. Steve introduced them indirectly by using chords without the 5th. He didn’t refer to them as “shell voicings” if I remember correctly, so when I discovered “shells” I thought they were something new.

Jens Larson also has a utube Jazz lesson using them.

I've not heard of them for very long. So simple yet so effective! 

Glad you guys enjoy!
