Diplomat's Son Cover - Vampire Weekend - Carson Kivari

Cover of Diplomat's Son from Contra. Played in original key with bridge and the breath Ezra takes at the end included! Cool! Breathing!

I play this with a capo on the second fret. Everything I play is a variation of the chords E, A and B (relative to capo).

[JonathonKuhlman]

Awesome job dude! Going to check out your originals now.

[Cerucir]

Wow :D it's really good. I like the guitar playing, and your voice fits it well. I like how you switched the tempo @3:00 like the original too.

[carlosdesantisil]

Excellent. Nice voice.

[STOPtheHORROR]

Love this!

[otakubabe555]

I really like your version of this song. :) Lots of VW covers don't turn out superbly because of Ezra's quite unique voice, but you carried it over very well.

I do really like this cover, it is very stripped down and your humming is superb. I want to jam with you. Splendid!

[PanicMan2306]

...any chance of the tabs? :)

[PanicMan2306]

Probably my favourite cover :)

[0miesaur]

Much love for this cover :)

[DubbleBubble303]

As much as I love Vampire Weekend, I must reluctantly admit... that this may be better than the original.
