String Cheese Incident - St Thomas guitar tab
St. Thomas
originally by Sonny Rollins
transcribed by Adam Hart acousticjambreak@hotmail.com
This is an old jazz standards song which cheese has adapted.
To me it sounds very light and tropical and happy like I
should be applying coco butter and dragging my boogie
board past the palm trees, down to the surf.
I think the timing might be a half step off in one or two
places. Find a recording and check it out.
