It has a minor root (i). If we put it in A-minor, this will be Am. The next chord is a minor chord build on the prefect fourth, whic will be Dm. Then there is a major chord build on the minor seventh note, which will be G. Then there is a major chord built on the minor third, which will be C. Then there is a major chord built on the minor sixth, which will be F. Then we have the diminished triad built on the second, which is Bdim (but not Bdim7 - you will often see dim7 notated just as dim). In natural minor, the diatonic chord built on the 5th of the scale will be a minor chord. Here it is a major chord. If we compare Em and E, the Em has the notes E-G-B, while the E has E-G#-B. The G# is a major seventh, the note one half step below the root. This note is also known as the leading note. This note gives a stronger push towards the root, and a stronger sense of being in some kind of an A-key in this case. When the minor seventh is substituted with a major seventh, meaning that we have get a V rather than a v chord, we have harmonic minor. You will hear more about the leading note if you listen so my podcast on What is a key?. [...] […] The last progression in Ray’s question is i iv VIIb IIIb VIb iidim V i. It has a minor root (i).
