    Yes, in theory the composer of the song owns the copyright of the tune and the lyrics and the producer of any recording owns the copyright of that recording, subject to the rights of the composer.

    To create, record and distribute a “cover” of a copyrighted composition you would need a license.

    17 USC 115

    No, I wouldn’t think so. I think you can only get a copyright strike if you’re playing the actual song. I mean, to be a youtube partner, you can’t have copyright strikes, and there are youtube partners who sing song covers for their channel.
