In the Beatles' song Yesterday, the 2nd cord is a F# minor. As far as I can tell the cord formula for the key of G does not allow for this, yet it is part of this song. I'm sure its ok for this cord to be part of this song I just don't understand why it is. Could someone explain.

Perhaps Neil can explain more clearly what the article is saying because the article seems to be written in some foreign language that I don't understand. :-(

Hey DB, I understand the desire to place the pieces. You could just say that the composer, (Sir Paul), took artistic license to dress up "Ti" as he heard fit. (Ti never really knows what to wear anyway. 7th?, no, that's Sol's outfit. Maybe diminished, or the rebellious rule breaking minor!).
When I was young, I wanted all cats put in boxes. Now they are free. Some cats just wouldn't go in the box. Kinda like string bending.
If it works to the ears, play it. Shoer
