    Hi @Dirk_R , I believe @Alfred has given you one answer for the notes being fretted, but the truth is, that the chord name is based on the intended root note (1 note).😱😱 So if you intend that the E note (2nd fret, D string) is the 1 note, then yes, the correct name is Emadd9. But for instance, using the same fretting, let’s say we want the open G string (G note) to be the 1 note, then the chord name is Gmaj13 or Gmaj7/E – yea, go figure, right? Anyways, I found a website that has wonderful tools to help with questions just like this (and a lot more). I’m not computer savvy enough to put a real link here so you’ll have to type it into your browser 🙁
