Its better to bar three strings at 6th fret in the #9 b9 part.
YT-search "Prebys Torrance" shows Richard and where I learnd this.
Freely I do E7 E+, where he plays D11 E11.
Randy Crawford, Mario Biondi and Nicolette Larson do nice covers.
I'm glad, it swapped a lot of money in Richard's wallet.
BTW, he too.
