Turns out you don't actually need all the notes of a chord present to get the essence of a chord. All you really need are the chord tones that are directly responsible for creating the color or characteristic sound of the chord. For a seventh chord all you really need are the 3rd and 7th (flat 7) of the chord to create the characteristic sound of the chord. The third and seventh are the color tones of the chord with the root and fifth the power tones.
