Harmony analysis

Ezhel – Mayrig: key and chord analysis

The song opens on F#m and ends on E. Its chords belong to both A major and F#m, so every chord below is read both ways.

Major view

A major

Brightness rank 2/7 (bright)

Characteristic notes

7 = G# (leading tone, pulls home)
4 = D (the note that leans on the 3rd)

Minor view

F# minor

Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)

Characteristic notes

b6 = D (the minor's melancholy)
b7 = E (natural-minor colour)

Which side does the ear lean to?

Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the F# minor side because it opens on F#m. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from A major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.

Chord degrees: major and relative minor

Show the degrees above the chords — relative to A or to F#m; comparing both readings is a practice of its own.

Every chord of the key, listed 1 to 7 separately for each key. Chords played in the song show how often they appear; chords from outside the scale sit next to their own degree.

Analysis

The key pair is A major and its relative F# minor (3 sharps). 4 different chords appear 72 times in total; 4 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. Everything stays inside one scale, which is why the song is easy to follow by ear.

Chord movement

D E AIV → VIV → V F#mVI → VIIVI → VII ×14
E F#m AV → videceptive cadence F#mVII → iAeolian arrival ×13
E A AV → Iauthentic cadence F#mVII → III ×1

The move to watch is D → E, heard 14 times. From the F#m side it is VI → VII (VI → VII: the rising step that heads for the tonic); from the A side it reads IV → V (IV → V: the lift that builds tension before home). Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.

Improvisation tips

A major pentatonic and F# minor pentatonic are the same five notes (A – B – C# – E – F#): start from A for a brighter phrase, from F# for a bluesier one.
Over E, land on E, G#, B — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
Over D, land on D, F#, A — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
Over F#m, land on F#, A, C# — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story

Starting on F#m, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. E, D, F#m, A carry the song: V–IV–vi–I relative to A, VII–VI–i–III relative to F#m. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on D → E (IV → V in A, VI → VII in F#m): VI → VII — the rising step that heads for the tonic. Ending on E, the song seals A as home.

This analysis is generated from the song's chords by akorculuk's harmony engine using consistent rules. When you change key, the degrees stay the same; only the chord names change.
