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). 3 different chords appear 24 times in total; 3 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

There's no textbook cadence here; the chords circle around each other in a loop, so the song feels more like a groove than a series of arrivals.

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 Amaj7, land on A, C#, E — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
Over G#m7, land on G#, B, D# — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
Over F#m7, land on F#, A, C# — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.

The song's harmonic story

The first chord is Amaj7; the ear learns where home is within a second. The backbone is Amaj7, G#m7, F#m7 — IVmaj7–iii7–ii7 from the E side, VImaj7–v7–iv7 from the C#m side. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Ending on G#m7, the song seals E 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.
