If you have E minor chord only in your progression, then you have a couple of choices for modes. For example, E minor can be both:
E Aeolian - G major key E Dorian - D major key E Phrygian - C major key All these three keys are similar to each other, and are called related keys, since they have so many notes that are the same. You can try using your E minor chord as a backing, and play every one of these modes, so you practice your ear to know the difference between different minor type modes. (modes that have a minor third interval from the root). -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

When composing modally, if you start with a chord progression, you have to make sure that the chord progression is in the mode you want to play because chords and scales are very intimately connected.
For instance, Am7 D7 is a Dorian Progression, C D is a Lydian progression.I f you don't understand why that is, check out my Chords for Scales lesson -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile
