Ticket 1: The Flat 6 Chord

 
When you're in a major key try throwing in the flat 6 chord. This works particularly well when you're expecting the root. For example, rather than landing on the I or 'root' chord (e.g. D major) at the end of a section delay the resolution by substituting the bVI (Bb) instead, before finally resolving to the I.

Honey Don't 
I Saw Her Standing There
I Will
It Won't Be Long

Oh! Darling
P.S. I Love You
