E, E7, Esus4, Eadd6 seem to work well over the E in “It’s only Rockin Roll” by the Rolling Stones. I’ve been having fun using these. I may post a AVOP soon.
Have Fun,

Why there isn’t the Esus2?
Sus 2 chords replace the 3rd interval of the chord with the 2nd. The 3rd interval of the E chord is G# played on the first fret G string, the 2nd interval is 2 semitomes below that putting it behind the nut. If you just lift your finger off the G# note you get G making an Em chord. You can play an Esus2 in open position but it is a very user unfriendly chord and easier to play on different spots on the neck.
