Primarily, you're just using the tri-tone of the 'root' note.
In Ab, the 7-3-6 is G, C, F. The tri-tones associated with G are FB; with C, EBb; and with F, AEb.
I do the last chord like:
G-Ab-C / F-G-Bb or Eb-G-Bb
What is this? If one is saying a 7-3-6 that chord starts with a G. I, being the beginner that I am, would be completely lost. :-\

It's all good. It's just a variation of his 3rd chord. I just dropped the Eb out of both hands.
Remember, we're talking rootless chords, so that's why you see the G. It's played at about G3.
