    the first one is Emaj7/b9/11(1,b2,3,4,(5),7)and you can let the 6 string ring out since its an E like jimi hendrix did it was one of his fav. chords i use it all the time if you figure out the E pentatonic scale add blue note you can go back and forth well just look up EasyChord 1.3a1 and ScaleTool download them free it will help a lot if your stuck and need help finding chords scales beleave me these lessons and songs become easy if you have these programs to use…and tell others
