The beauty of the 3- or 4-note chord, aside from the trim sound, is that a given shape can serve so many purposes. My favorite example is the way this chord 6x57xx is equally a Bb or a Gm.
Scot, or a Em7b5 or a C9. In the 3 note chord method you can do pretty much any chord with only a few shapes especially if you have a bass player to put the root somewhere.
@scot I love using that as a minor voicing, especially for something like an Fm where the root version would be closer to the nut. Just target that minor3rd on the G# and you are in business!
