Favorite guitar chords

I like the sound of seconds in voicings. one of my favorite chords that tends to turn up in a lot of my tunes is this one:

E:-----
B:--8--
G:-11--
D:--9--
A:-----
E:-----

it kinda has a chameleon-like quality.

it can be like an e minor 9:

-----
--8--
-11--
--9--
-----
--0--

or like a d major (6 add 4):

-----
--8--
-11--
--9--
-----
-10--

or a c major (7#11):

-----
--8--
-11--
--9--
-----
--8--

I also like this one:

-----
--3--
--6--
--5--
-----
-----

it can be like an e minor:

-----
--3--
--6--
--5--
-----
--0--

or an A7(sus4):

-----
--3--
--6--
--5--
--0--
