REHAR
reharmonizing-songs-–-stand-by-me-(by
How to reharmonize songs? I use the Ben E. King song Stand By Me to show how I go about finding new chords and reharmonizations for songs.
These techniques work just as well for coverings songs as they do for improving your own songs. Learning some advanced music theory that way is a lot of fun :).
Video course on chord progressions (including the "50s progression" of "Stand by Me"):

I use the example of Billy Joel's "New York State of Mind". We look at the harmony of this successful song and strip it down to its easy to understand skeleton. Then we retrace the steps to turn these simple chords into the sophisticated progression of the final song.
