Which Chord Could This Be? Options

[Lester]

Hi guys,

I was practicing a bit on the intro from "Ghost", It's on the new album from Slash and the intro goes like this:

Lead Guitar:
e|-------------------------------------------|
B|-10----12----10----12----10p9--------|
G|-----11----11----11----11-------9-----| x10
D|---9-----9-----9-----9---------------9--|
A|------------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------|

Now, I was trying to analyze what he was actually playing so i wrote down the notes.
The last lick consists of an E, B and G#, so that would be an E major
On the first licks the notes are B- F# and an A, now I was wondering: which chord is this?

The only thing that makes sense to me is that F# is the root note, with the A as a minor 3rd and the B as a perfect fourth.
I Don't know how some would call that chord? or the B as root note, F# as a diminished fifth and A as a minor 7th?

Any suggestions?
