Vampire Weekend Cousins
New York indie-rock band Vampire Weekend hit it big when their second album Contra was released and debuted at number 1 on the Billboard charts. The album would go on to have worldwide success, and the record’s lead-off single “Cousins” would become the flagship song for the bands new-found popularity. With a quirky guitar part, erratic drum beat with auxiliary percussion and contemplative lyrics, the song has come to define the unique and highly personal sound that the band brings to the indie-rock table.
From a guitarists standpoint the song offers several different challenges, all of which are fun to tackle, as you get the various rhythm and lead parts under your fingers. The opening riff, which mixes single-lines with chords, is great for building groove and dexterity in your fingers. But, even more interesting is the tremolo picked mandolin-inspired descending lines that recur throughout the song.
These melodic phrases are great for building up your right hand technique and two-hand coordination. If you’re having trouble with these lines just take them out of context, slow them down, work on them for a few days, then go back and try them with the song again. Though it’ll take a little while to get it perfect, spending the time on these lines will pay off, not only with this song, but will also improve your overall technique in the process.
