SCARLET BEGONIAS > FIRE ON THE MOUNTAIN SEGMENT
Key: B
Scale: B Mixolydian
(Either, vibrato slowly)
|---------------------------|
|---7~~~---9--7~~~---5~~~---|
|---8~~~---9--8~~~---6~~~---|
|---9~~~---9--9~~~---7~~~---|
|---------------------------|
|---------------------------|
Slow the pace of playing down a whole bunch, both Bobby and Jerry parts should just be
B mixolydian segments, use lots of vibratos.
Small Example:
|---------------11------------------------|
|---12~---10h12----12-10-9----------------|
|--------------------------11-8~-8--6/8---|
|-----------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------|
Have all of the string/key instruments aside from one of the guitar parts stop playing
awhile, and start a B -> A progression(Fire on the Mountain)
Example:
B A
|--------7--------------------------------|
|---7~-----9p7--------5~-------4/5--4/5---|
|---8~---------9-8-9--6~-------5/6--5/6---|
|---9~----------------7~-------6/7--6/7---|
|-----------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------|
After a couple measures of that, have the rest of the strings/keys come in, now on a B>A
which starts Fire on the Mountain
FIRE ON THE MOUNTAIN

|-------x--------8------8---------x--------x-x-x----x---------|
|---9--x-----------9------9----7-x---------x-x-x-7-x----------|
|-------------------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------------|
Repeat that, mix it up all you want, that's just the main structure of it.

All of Jerry's soloing is in B mixolydian, put a lot of emphasis on B when needed, and
on A when needed, makes it sound beautiful.

Great tabbing but the Jerry's first verse doesn't just sit on E. It goes E to B at the end. I'm guessing Bob does something similar as well.
Which is clearly shown if you look at it again. You don't play chords during the first verse when there is no singing, there are two riffs with "B" written above them next to the "E" part.
