Jehan Barbur – Gidersen: key and chord analysis
The song opens on C#m and ends on C#m. Its chords belong to both E major and C#m, so every chord below is read both ways.
Minor view
C# minor
Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)
Characteristic notes
- b6 = A (the minor's melancholy)
- b7 = B (natural-minor colour)
Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the C# minor side because it both starts and finishes on C#m and C#m is heard 18 times against 2 for E. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from E 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 E or to C#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 E major and its relative C# minor (4 sharps). 12 different chords appear 78 times in total; 10 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. F# acts as a secondary dominant, briefly pointing at another chord of the key.
Chord movement
- G#m C#m Eiii → vi C#mv → inatural-minor cadence ×4
- B C#m EV → videceptive cadence C#mVII → iAeolian arrival ×2
- A C#m EIV → vi C#mVI → iVI → i ×2
- Amaj7 C#m EIVmaj7 → vi C#mVImaj7 → iVI → i ×2
- Bsus2 C#m EVsus2 → vi C#mVIIsus2 → iAeolian arrival ×2
- A B EIV → VIV → V C#mVI → VIIVI → VII ×1
The move to watch is G#m → C#m, heard 4 times. From the C#m side it is v → i (natural-minor cadence: gentle, modal arrival); from the E side it reads iii → vi. Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Improvisation tips
- E major pentatonic and C# minor pentatonic are the same five notes (E – F# – G# – B – C#): start from E for a brighter phrase, from C# for a bluesier one.
- Over C#m, land on C#, E, G# — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over G#m, land on G#, B, D# — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over Amaj7, land on A, C#, E — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story
The opening C#m lays a solid floor for everything that follows. C#m, G#m, Amaj7, F#m carry the song: vi–iii–IVmaj7–ii relative to E, i–v–VImaj7–iv relative to C#m. F# adds a moment of surprise: secondary dominant V/V — leads to B. Keep an ear on G#m → C#m (iii → vi in E, v → i in C#m): natural-minor cadence — gentle, modal arrival. It closes on C#m, letting the C#m side have the last word.
