RE: Jazz Voicings?
If you are playing guitar, one voicing that is commonly used is Tonic, then seventh and third (and then accidentals) For example A7 would be A, G, #C in that order. On the guitar it is (5X56XX - Starting first string - the fat one - fifth fret, second string nothing, third string fifth fret, and fourth sixth fret) Amaj7 would be A, #G, #C (5X66XX). If you have accidental it's easy to add them to this position like A7/#5 would be A, G, #C, F (5X566X). In gerneral jazz voicings are stacked sevenths (and major sevenths, and double flat sevenths) and stacked fourths (perfect, flat, and sharp)
