Harmony analysis
Murat Kekilli – Vakit Geldi: key and chord analysis
The song opens on G#m and ends on Eb7. Its chords belong to both B major and G#m, so every chord below is read both ways.
Minor view
G# minor
Brightness rank 5/7 (leaning dark)
Characteristic notes
- b6 = E (the minor's melancholy)
- b7 = F# (natural-minor colour)
- #7 = G (harmonic-minor leading tone from the V chord)
Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the G# minor side because it opens on G#m, G#m is heard 6 times while B never appears and the major V chord points straight at G#m. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from B 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 B or to G#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 B major and its relative G# minor (5 sharps). 5 different chords appear 25 times in total; 4 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. The major V of G#m brings the harmonic-minor leading tone, giving the minor side a sharper, more dramatic pull; seen from B, the same Eb7 is V7/vi, a secondary dominant heading for G#m.
Chord movement
- Eb7 G#m BV7/vi → visecondary resolution G#mV7 → iharmonic-minor cadence ×5
- C#m F# Bii → Vii → V G#miv → VII ×1
The move to watch is Eb7 → G#m, heard 5 times. From the G#m side it is V7 → i (harmonic-minor cadence: the major V resolves dramatically); from the B side it reads V7/vi → vi (secondary resolution: Eb7 resolves a fourth up to G#m). Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Improvisation tips
- B major pentatonic and G# minor pentatonic are the same five notes (B – C# – D# – F# – G#): start from B for a brighter phrase, from G# for a bluesier one.
- Over G#m, land on G#, B, D# — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over E, land on E, G#, B — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over Eb7, land on Eb, G, Bb — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- When Eb7 comes, swap the scale's F# for G: that single note is the harmonic-minor sound of the chord.

The song's harmonic story
Starting on G#m, the song gives away its key from the very first bar. The backbone is G#m, E, Eb7, F# — vi–IV–V7/vi–V from the B side, i–VI–V7–VII from the G#m side. Eb7 is the interesting twist: in B it is a chromatic chord (V7/vi), while in G#m it becomes the dominant (V7) that makes the minor side sound so determined. Keep an ear on Eb7 → G#m (V7/vi → vi in B, V7 → i in G#m): harmonic-minor cadence — the major V resolves dramatically. It closes on Eb7, letting the B side have the last word.
