What key is it? It looks like those chords fall under the key of G major, but that doesnt make sense. As I'm soloing over the progression, the notes B and D sound the most like the tonic. I can't figure it out.
That's e minor. Except for it to work the progression should be Em/Am/B(7). This follows the standard formula of I - IV - V7 (or in this case it would be i - iv - V7). The 5th chord (V7) is always major.
