How do you play a 3 note jazz voicing for a slash chord?

Question

Please answer for piano specifically. So classic 3 note jazz voicing to my understanding is Root in the left hand and the 3 and 7 in the right. But what if you have an inversion with 3 or 7 in the bass? Do you still play 3 and 7 in the right hand or does that change?

Answer 1

Hi, you could ad the root note in the chord as a higher note. Say it is CMaj7 in first inversion. E-B-C-G would be a good choice (E being the bass note, B-C in the middle and treble G highest). We are not repeating any note and B to C creates a great emotion. Chord Symbol would be CMaj7/E

You can play 2 notes with the left and 2 notes with the right hand.
