Harmony analysis
Yaşar Kurt – Dokuz Altı Yolları: key and chord analysis
The song opens on Gm and ends on Gm. Its chords belong to both Bb major and Gm, so every chord below is read both ways.
Minor view
G minor
Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)
Characteristic notes
- b6 = Eb (the minor's melancholy)
- b7 = F (natural-minor colour)
Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the G minor side because it both starts and finishes on Gm and Gm is heard 27 times against 6 for Bb. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from Bb 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 Bb or to Gm; 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 Bb major and its relative G minor (2 flats). 7 different chords appear 76 times in total; 6 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. C acts as a secondary dominant, briefly pointing at another chord of the key.
Chord movement
- Cm Gm Bbii → vi Gmiv → iminor plagal ×8
- Eb Gm BbIV → vi GmVI → iVI → i ×6
- F Bb BbV → Iauthentic cadence GmVII → III ×2
- Dm Gm Bbiii → vi Gmv → inatural-minor cadence ×2
The move to watch is Cm → Gm, heard 8 times. From the Gm side it is iv → i (minor plagal: deep and melancholic); from the Bb side it reads ii → vi. Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Improvisation tips
- Bb major pentatonic and G minor pentatonic are the same five notes (Bb – C – D – F – G): start from Bb for a brighter phrase, from G for a bluesier one.
- Over Gm, land on G, Bb, D — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over F, land on F, A, C — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over Cm, land on C, Eb, G — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story
The opening Gm lays a solid floor for everything that follows. Gm, F, Cm, Dm carry the song: vi–V–ii–iii relative to Bb, i–VII–iv–v relative to Gm. C adds a moment of surprise: secondary dominant V/V — leads to F. Keep an ear on Cm → Gm (ii → vi in Bb, iv → i in Gm): minor plagal — deep and melancholic. Ending on Gm, the song seals Gm 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.
