Harmony analysis
Uğur Etiler – Zırdeli: key and chord analysis
The song opens on Ab and ends on Ab. 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)
- #7 = B# (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 C# minor side because the major V chord points straight at C#m. 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). 3 different chords appear 24 times in total; 2 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. The major V of C#m brings the harmonic-minor leading tone, giving the minor side a sharper, more dramatic pull.
Chord movement
- F#m Ab Eii → III C#miv → Viv → V ×9
The move to watch is F#m → Ab, heard 9 times. From the C#m side it is iv → V (iv → V: the minor side's tension builder); from the E side it reads ii → III. 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 Ab, land on Ab, C, Eb — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over F#m, land on F#, A, C# — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- Over A, land on A, C#, E — the chord's own tones always sound right on strong beats.
- When Ab comes, swap the scale's B for B#: that single note is the harmonic-minor sound of the chord.

The song's harmonic story
The opening Ab lays a solid floor for everything that follows. The backbone is Ab, F#m, A — III–ii–IV from the E side, V–iv–VI from the C#m side. Ab is the interesting twist: in E it is a chromatic chord (III), while in C#m it becomes the dominant (V) that makes the minor side sound so determined. Keep an ear on F#m → Ab (ii → III in E, iv → V in C#m): iv → V — the minor side's tension builder. The final chord is Ab; the ear comes to rest in E.
