Need help identifying chords

[Patriot54]

I tried 3 or 4 of those chord finder websites but they're not working for what I need. Can someone tell me what these are or what is the best resource to identify odd chords?

#1 (F root):
E: muted
A: 8
D: 7
G: open
B: 8
E: muted

#2 (D# root):
E: muted
A: 6
D: 5
G: open
B: 6
E: muted

#3 (A root):
E: 5
A: 4
D: open
G: open
B: 5
E: muted

Analyzing them theoretically, rearrange the notes until they build a chord where the intervals are thirds:

CHORD 1: as written: FAGG; analyzed: F-A-x-x-G = F major add 9 (with the 5th and 7th of the chord [C] [E] missing)

CHORD 2: as written: EbGGF; analyzed: Eb-G-x-x-F = Eb Major add 9 (with the 5th and 7th of the chord [Bb] [D] missing)

CHORD 3: as written: AC#DGE; analyzed:  A-C#-E-G-x-D = A 11 (with the 9th of the chord missing)

They are voiced in such a way to sound pleasing? on the guitar. I'm assuming that the bass is playing the roots of the chords.
These are really not complete chords. They almost qualify as clusters. Some things sound fine when played on the guitar, but when you lay them out in root position, may not sound quite so good.

Thanks for the info. A lot of what you said is a new languge to me - I just know where to put my fingers. I keep my hand in the same position down the neck as if I'm playing a G major chord or a C add 9. It's hard to describe because there's finger-picking (thumb playing the bass notes separately) pull-offs, and some other random open notes ringing out, and I echo that variation of A11 down at the 12th and 15th frets. The G string is mostly played open the whole time and I'm always holding down a note on the B string. I'll try to get a quick recording to add to this thread, and there's more to it than those 3 chords, but basically the bass guitar would go G-C-G-F-D#, then G-C-A-C.

This is a sample of the song I've been playing around with (and the first video of June 2012 GOTM)  :icon_thumright:

Nice chord sequence.    I agree with Photoguy for the first two chords, with one small tweak for the third chord. I call it an A7add11, rather than an A11.

Thanks - I think it works so far, although something about that A7add11 sounds a little off to my ears. What's weird is that my guitar isn't 100% intonated but the higher version of that chord at the end still sounds better to me.  Those two are the same fingering position, only moved down to the A string at the 12th and 15th frets :dontknow:

Thanks for helping me get this on paper - now that I see it written out, there's plenty of G's in every chord our bassist could play off of. Hopefully I'll get a recording of this with bass and lead guitar soon.  :guitaristgif:

So basically triads....except for A11... :icon_scratch:

Using guitar toolkit on my phone it gives me:

First chord: F3add2
Second chord: Eb3add2 or F7sus2/Eb
Third: A11 or A7add4

I have no idea if they're right or anything.
