String Cheese Incident

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.
