C# Dorian Mode notes and formula:

This jam track is a two chord vamp using the IV and V chords taken from the parallel major scale (B major) but with C# in the bass.
E/C# contains the same notes as C#m7, so this chord could be viewed as such. F# major already contain the note C# so that could be considered just an F# major.
