Vampire Weekend - Cousins - Bass Cover

I first was thinking about posting this cover along with A-Punk, but it was a lot harder to learn than I thought it would be. But once I was able to pull it off (well sort of, this is far from perfect), it became a whole lot of fun :)
For those who might be wondering about the capo :
- The bass player in the music video looks like he's playing with a F# standard tuning (a whole step above E std) but I wouldn't recommend it unless your bass is set up for this kind of stuff
- I saw a live performance where he plays it with a capo so that's what I decided to go with, and what I would recommend in general
- If you have a five string, you can play that low F# with the fiifth string, although it does complicate things quite a bit
If none of these options is available to you, you can omit that low F# altogether, although it doesn't sound quite as good imo

Way more complex than I thought after hearing you play

Yeah, you wouldn't expect this from such a joyful song haha
But once you get it, it's a whole lot of fun :)

Amazing cover dude! Sounds great, cheers!

[@Gabivador]

Thanks so much ! Glad you like it :)

5 string!!! And I have to learn this on a 4 string? Well I guess I have to make do.

[@Gabivador]

I don't actually use the 5th string on this one, it's totally playable with only four. Though you do need a capo.

[@RickEditor]

do you have a tab for it? haha
i just can't keep up!!!

[@Gabivador]

I don't think there are any good ones online, sadly
I learned the thing through Rocksmith, but I don't think the capo arrangement is on UA-cam. You can probably watch the version without a capo and find out where to put the additional notes though.

@@Gabivador ah, thank you anyway
