The <u>'''natural minor scale</u> ''' is basically exactly the same as the major scale, except the major 3rd, major 6th, and major 7th are all flattened to minor 3rd, minor 6th, and minor 7th. This changes the whole-half pattern as follows:

If you observed astutely, the whole-half pattern of major and minor is exactly the same; it just starts on a different note:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
A B C D E F G A
When two keys share the exact same set of notes, they are called <u>'''relative keys</u>'''. For any major key, there is a relative minor and vice versa. A Minor is the relative minor of C Major.

And let's redo our bigger progression from C Major, except using the minor tonality:
Am C F B{{dim}} Bdim C F B{{dim}} Bdim Em Am i III VI ii iio III VI ii{{dim}} iio v i
E-0-------------|-0---1---1------|-0---1---1----0-|-0----------
B-1-------------|-1---1---3------|-1---1---3----0-|-1----------
