Progressions in G — Oud

G major harmonises to G – Am – Bm – C – D – Em – F#°; G minor to Gm – A° – Bb – Cm – Dm – Eb – F. Each chord links to its Oud voicings, so a change in G becomes a short list of positions rather than a search.

This diatonic table is Western tertian theory, laid over an instrument whose own repertoire leans on maqam more often than on chord changes — a useful map when the oud sits in a mixed ensemble, and honestly labelled as a borrowed lens rather than the instrument's native one.
