You've got E, G, B, D which is an Em7, and I'd call the F# on the 4th string a 9 (instead of a 2) because the chord contains a D on the 2nd string, which is the b7 of the chord. The interesting thing is that one of my favorite chords is kind of an inversion of your chord: Em9

I still don't have all the theory behind these extended chords quite down yet. If asked, I can usually name the notes in a given chord, but for some reason when I'm trying to figure out the name of a particular chord shape (like in this instance) and there is some type of inversion involved, it seems especially difficult for me.

The thing that helped me was to write out 4 note voicings for all the basic 7th chords (i.e. maj7, min7, 7, m7b5, etc.) in each of the 4 inversions, and just start playing them along with a metronome. After a while they become second nature, and you absorb the theory into your playing. But that was when I had a lot more free time... ;-)

As far as I can tell, he is the undisputed master of open-stringed voicings. He's written many tunes based around the use of open strings...
