Harmony analysis

Aysel Yakupoğlu – Dua: key and chord analysis

The song opens on Em and ends on Bm. Its chords belong to both G major and Em, so every chord below is read both ways.

Major view

G major

Brightness rank 2/7 (bright)

Characteristic notes

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

Minor view

E minor

Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)

Characteristic notes

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

Which side does the ear lean to?

Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the E minor side because it opens on Em and Em is heard 9 times against 2 for G. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from G 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 G or to Em; 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 G major and its relative E minor (1 sharp). 5 different chords appear 51 times in total; 5 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

Bm Em Giii → vi Emv → inatural-minor cadence ×8

The move to watch is Bm → Em, heard 8 times. From the Em side it is v → i (natural-minor cadence: gentle, modal arrival); from the G side it reads iii → vi. Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.

Improvisation tips

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

The song's harmonic story

The opening Em lays a solid floor for everything that follows. Bm, Am, Em, C carry the song: iii–ii–vi–IV relative to G, v–iv–i–VI relative to Em. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Bm → Em (iii → vi in G, v → i in Em): natural-minor cadence — gentle, modal arrival. Ending on Bm, the song seals G 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.
