What guitar chord is made up of the open notes A D G B?
Because those notes don’t form a basic triad or seventh chord (instrument doesn’t matter), the interpretation depends on the surrounding context.

How would you notate the chord G# F B E as a substitute for a G7 chord leading to C?
It's E7b9.
Probably the most known substitute of a dominant chord is a tritone substitution, where e.g. Db7 (Db F Ab Cb), which shares the third (Cb = B enharmonically), and the seventh (F) of the ...

When do you include the bass note of a chord if the bass is the b9?
Context is all. But I’d hazard a pretty confident guess that the E♭ isn’t part of the upper structure but purely the bass note. ( Maybe the tonic or dominant? Is there a string of chords all over an ...

What guitar chord is made up of the open notes A D G B?
With A being the lowest note and not repeated higher, I'd call it a G/A (i. e. G with added bass A).

Why doesn't the G chord resolve as definitively into C as E7 into Am?
The acid test, of course, would be to play exactly the same voicings on each instrument. That means deciding if you actually play all 6 strings on guitar, and if not, then only play the appropriate ...

Are all classical guitar pieces composed based on chord progressions?
are some pieces written more randomly (without chord progressions) … ?
Yes, but it’s not random. A chordal approach to music is only one way to write music, and I believe if we examined all music ...

Differing from suggested fingering
Fingerings are suggested. But suggested by whom? It's as if we're all standard size, which we all know is absolutely incorrect. So one-size-fits-all is not particularly useful.

How would you notate the chord G# F B E as a substitute for a G7 chord leading to C?
This is a common voicing in bossa nova.
You can see that in different ways depending on the context. For instance in Insensatez:
Am7 (5x555x)
E7b9/G# (4x345x)
Gm6 (3x233x)
D/F#. (2x023x)
etc....

What guitar chord is made up of the open notes A D G B?
D G and B form the very simple G major triad, if it's in that rising order, it'll be 2nd inversion.
Adding an A note in there will introduce a 2nd (rather than a 9th) to the title, and as that A ...

Why doesn't the G chord resolve as definitively into C as E7 into Am?
The most likely problem is the chord voicings. On the piano, the root of the chord is always the lowest pitch, which is a safe bet and will generally give a decent resolution.
However, on guitar, ...

Why doesn't the G chord resolve as definitively into C as E7 into Am?
Generically, you are asking about a dominant seventh chord resolving to a tonic (or implied tonic) major or minor triad.
The resolution of those chords, in terms of voice leading, involves the tone of ...

how do I analyse these chords in this chorale?
The analytical principal here — and a good tool in general when unsure of a chord — is to look at what the following, and sometimes preceding, chords are.

What guitar chord is made up of the open notes A D G B?
On a six string guitar, with the top and bottom E strings muted, strumming those four notes downward would chime the 5th, 4th, 3rd, and 2nd strings.
This, in that context, is an Asus9 guitar chord.

In harmonic syntax (“root progressions”), does only the root matter, or the entire chord?
One way to look at things is to consider that there are two "basic" progressions happening at the same time. One is the actual bass line (shown in figured bass notation.) The other is the ...

What chord do we get by raising the fifth of a minor triad?
Raising the fifth of a major triad gives an augmented triad. For example, you can get from C (C-E-G) to C+ (C-E-G♯) by raising the fifth.
Correct.
...C-E♭-G♯, which is enharmonic to C-E♭-A♭
Not ...
