For a song I'm using a simple progression (E A E B A E ), but I'm liking the sound of two variants for A and B.
Essentially I'm using an "E bar" chord but lifting the bar.
Hence, the A variation is:
077600

and the B variant is
099800 (although, I may be dampening the low E)

FWIW, sometimes I'm playing the E chord up at 079900 and sometimes not.
What would these chords be named, as an A and B chord?
Thanks!

The firs chord is an A add2 the two being the B - second note of the A major scale.
the second is a B11 all notes part of a b chord the open e is a perfect 11.
