Often you can give your songs a “lift” by modulating up a half-step from the key you are in. For example, if you are playing a song in the key of A major, try playing the last verse or chorus of the song in Bb. All you have to do is locate the V7 chord of the new key, and off you go.

If you need help in the area of modulation and/or transposition (they are similar but different) please go to Modulation and Transposition.
