1 Re-harmonise

This idea works well with songs that are written using chords entirely within one key signature: simply change one of the chords. Take the most basic I-IV-V chord progression in C - that's C-F-G. If your chosen cover follows this progression, try swapping out an F or G for an Em or Am all these chords use notes from the key of C major so they're sure to sound like they belong.

2 Capo up!
