If you have any chord voicing strategies that you particularly enjoy incorporating into your personal style, this is a great place to share them!

For all major and minor chords,  I try to use both the seventh and the ninth.  I also use mostly rootless chords.  I mainly use these two voicings.  In ascending order, I use either 7-9-3-5 or 3-5-7-9.  For example, for  "C" major, I could play B-D-E-G. or E-G-B-D.  

For Am7, I could use G-B-C-E or C-E-G-B.
