Making a Video Thumbnail

So I just started up a second channel which I aim making into a music channel. However I don't know what exactly to put for the video thumbnails on that channel. Some info on the channel I'll list so you could help with some ideas.
Name: TheRubberRevolver
I play guitar and sing
My first vid is a cover of the Beatles song Norwegian Wood

I literally have no ideas so any ideas would be great. Right now the thumbnail is me and my guitar (if it should stay that way let me know). Thanks!

Make sure you have clear text (60-70%) coverage and then choose an image to use that is catchy. You could use an image of your self on guitar just make sure you have good lighting but if you don't just make sure you have plenty of natural light.
I am keen to see this channel grow, got a good idea going on here.
 
Thumbnails are always going to vary depending on the type of content, so just try new things in experimentation. Then once you feel something is right then follow those guide lines. Always seek inspiration from those above you. :3
 
I also make music centered things, and I normally use a photo of my with my guitar, or from the music video (if I made a proper one) and then the title of the song, the original artist and my name :) I make it more fancy, but adding appropiate overlays and such :)
