The way I look at it is that chords are just a group of notes. If I can play a variety of note combinations then I am playing a variety of chords. I am rarely thinking (for better or worse) what the chords might be called.
And for example:
5-x-5-6-6-8
5-x-5-6-6-6
5-x-5-6-6-5
5-x-5-6-8-x
x-5-x-5-6-5
Do you label and think of each as a different chord?, say
A7+9+5
A7b9+5
A+7
A7
Dm7
Or for the first four do you think of it as one chord (A7) with a melody line on top?
