I often times find that songs are innacurate too...if by "inacurate" you mean "does not the match the song in any way AT ALL"...? So i try to find new songs or ask others if they know were i can find the song. I also agree with ziggystardust. and zuf's statement was not bad as a tag line at all...lol.

Alot of songs using chords EAD or DAE or ADE.
Try differents strumming patterns, make up your own..... slow tempo - up tempo.
Make up your own lyrics too.

Reminds me of a live album by John Mayall. You can hear people in the crowd calling out "Room to Move, Room to Move"

His response was " No there's no Room to Move, what'd you come here to do, hear an old record or somethin'"

Redefine what you mean by "inaccurate." If what you mean is, it's not exactly like the original artist, then duh. However, if you redefine what you mean to be an arrangement on that song, then it stops being inaccurate and starts being another way of playing that song. Even artists who perform their own songs over and over change it up. By your first definition, they're playing their own songs "inaccurately." Music isn't about mindless repitition. If that's what you want - go put on the album. If you want to play music, you must learn to appreciate interpretation. Try playing Stairway to Heaven, but do it in a Reggae style. Try Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground with shredding or as Flamenco. Break out of the mold and get your head wrapped around interpretation. Plus, if you're good enough to know that it's "wrong", fix it and give us all the benefit of your prowess.
