F# Minor 7, written F#m7, is built from F#, A, C# and E: the root, minor 3rd, 5th and minor 7th.

Its 3rd and 7th, A and E, 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, F#m7 is the ii7 of the Major ii-V Progression in E, the vi7 of the Deceptive Cadence in A, the iii7 of the Major iii-VI-ii-V Progression in D, the i7 of the Minor i-vi-ii-V Progression in F#, the v7 of the Whole-Step ii-V Chain in B and the vii7 of the Bebop Rhythm Changes in G.
