In GF 2 there was a tutorial on chord building. Essentially you need to find the 1st, major 3rd or minor 3rd & 5th. Then you need to factor in other tones as relative intervals from the root (4th, 6th, 7th, 9th, etc.).
Try this tutorial that lists all possible chromatic intervals. The images & ideas in those lessons will enable you to identify & name any and all chords.

... as an Example: Bar all strings at 5th fret, then fret the A string at the 7th fret(E) strum all.
That is an A minor 7th chord.
Major, minor & dominant 7th chords are covered here:

I recently reshot these (with expanded content dealing with all other 7th chord types). Hopefully I will edit & render it in the next month or so.
This tutorial might also be helpful, it is a brief intro to music theory.
