Norah Jones - Just a little bit

This song is a mesmerizing modal jazz improvisation over a single chord, the Eb2 (Ebadd9 will get close). Intro: There is no bass. The intro hovers above a single droning Bb tone above middle C. An F is soon added to the Bb, followed by an Eb, which forms Eb2 in second inversion (could be interpreted as Bbsus4), the only chord of the song. Once these tones are sounded, they never stop droning throughout the song. Verse/Chorus: An Eb is added in the bass, and continues to drone with Eb2 chord until the end. The open, unresolved nature of the droning Eb2 chord supports the implied chords formed by the modal riffs and solos: EbMaj9 (includes Bbm, Fsus4, F2) EbMaj13 (includes Cm) EbMaj7 (includes Gm) Modes used: F dorian, G phrygian, C aolian, Eb ionian Approximation of Improvisational Intro section (timing simplified & some pitches lowered for guitar): Piano
