G Dorian Mode notes and formula:

This jam track is a two chord vamp using the IV and V chords taken from the parallel major scale (F major) but with G in the bass.
Bb/G contains the same notes as Gm7, so this chord could be viewed as such. C major already contain the note G so that could be considered just an C major.
