If I can ask for your take on how you deal with a given modal scale choice for a given chord symbol. eg. You have an Emin 7 & within the melody you only have only the 2nd F# as a ref point in chosing which mode/scale that would fit. We don't have a 6th to reference from, but because of the F# we know that the Phyrigian mode is out, but how do we decide on the Dorian or Aeolian when we don't have a 6th to ref. from. My gut instinct is to follow your ear, but I am interested in any theoretical reasons, as to a particular choice.Thanks in Advance
