other tricks include playing voicings where the third is left out, or where the third is a larger interval from the root. Like a G chord where the root is on the sixth string, fifth string is damped, and you play a D on the second string instead of the B. Sounds very G-chord like, major chord, but no third. Or a C chord with a root on the fifth string, fourth string damped, and a high G on the first string. Or you play a Major 7 substitution for a major chord, so the third is juxtaposed against the 7 instead of the root.
