→Diatonic Chords and Harmonic Function
What's worth pointing out is that the natural minor scale contains a m7 instead of a M7, which weakens the tension created by the dominant-function chords and thus weakens the dominant - tonic resolution.
=== Sample Progression ===
Am Dm/A Em Am
i iv v i
e--0------1------0------0--
b--1------3------0------1--
g--2------2------0------2--
d--2------0------2------2--
a--0------0------2------0--
e----------------0---------
Here's the archetypal tonic - subdominant - dominant - tonic progression.
And let's redo our bigger progression from C Major, except using the minor tonality:
Am C F Bdim C F Bdim Em Am
i III VI ii III VI ii v i
e-0-------------|-0---1---1------|-0---1---1----0-|-0----------
b-1-------------|-1---1---3------|-1---1---3----0-|-1----------
g-2-------------|-0---2---x------|-0---2---x----0-|-2----------
d-2-------------|-2---3---3------|-2---3---3----2-|-2----------
a-0-------------|-3-------2------|-3-------2----2-|-0----------
e---------------|----------------|--------------0-|------------
