E 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 (D major) but with E in the bass.
G/E contains the same notes as Em7, so this chord could be viewed as such. A major already contain the note E so that could be considered just an A major.
