F#m7b5/A

That's what it is then.. my piano-playing friend almost worked it out for me and got as far as saying it was some variant on a F#m7.. it's something that I would never have thought to play.. I came across it accidentally when trying to find a chord to go between my Am7 and GMaj7.. It's my first really jazzy chord progression that I have written from scratch. I know enough about chord construction and music theory to piece together many basic and extended chords but some, like that one, confuse me.

Another chord I am interested to know is:


6 7 8
|-----|-----|-----|
|-----|-----|--4--|
|--1--|--3--|-----|
|-----|--2--|-----|
|-----|-----|-----|
X-----|-----|-----|


The fret numbers are at the top, the finger positions are the 1-thru-4.. the reason I show the 1 behind the 3rd finger is because I pull-off the note to the 6th fret there.. similar to the way you would pull-off on a Dsus4 back to a D... Again.. another bluesy/jazzy chord that confuses me.

I'm thinking it's like an AMaj6sus4 or something.. maybe..
