Hi
I have some confusion about diatonic chords. I understand that all the diatonic chords in C Major are made up of the notes in C Major but when I take the 2 chord for instance if I want to work out the scale degree of each note in the chord do I use the D dorian mode? and If i want to find the notes in an E minor 7 chord do I used E Phrygian?
Maybe this will help: The elements of a minor 7 chord are R b3 5 b7. So, for example, D-7 consists of D F A C. Relative to D Major, F is b3, and C is b7.
