Natural minor is a relative of the major scale (the Aeolian mode), consisting of the same notes but using a different note as the tonic. Its whole-half pa{{tt|tt}}ern pattern is (w h w w h w w). Its relative major's tonic note is the 3rd note of the scale. Reflexively, its tonic note is the 6th note of its relative major scale.
Its diatonic chords are i, ii{{dim}}, III, iv, v, VI, VII.
