- C#m3EM3G#m3B
C# Minor 7, written C#m7, is built from C#, E, G# and B: the root, minor 3rd, 5th and minor 7th.
Its 3rd and 7th, E and B, are its guide tones: they say what kind of chord it is, so voicings are built around them and the root is often left to the bass.
In the progressions here, C#m7 is the ii7 of the Major ii-V Progression in B, the vi7 of the Deceptive Cadence in E, the iii7 of the Major iii-VI-ii-V Progression in A, the v7 of the Whole-Step ii-V Chain in F# and the vii7 of the Bebop Rhythm Changes in D.
