As I said in my previous post the artist I would really like to sound like is a Swedish folk singer called "The Tallest Man On Earth". He has a very distinctive sound and has been called a young Bob Dylan. The reason i'd like to write music similar to his is because he writes really good lyrics and chord sequences/guitar parts for his songs.

Although my favourite singer/songwriter is Johnny Cash, some of the songs i've written are a lot more acoustic/folk style as apposed to Country and Rock 'N' Roll like Johnny Cash. I would love to be able to write like Johnny Cash and i've tried but he truly was one of a kind.

Another artist that i'm a big fan of is Paolo Nutini. He released his first album "These Streets" in 2006. Fantastic Album. He has a very distinctive voice but his guitar style is quite simple compared to The Tallest Man On Earth who uses some very tricky guitar techniques. I've tried to learn some of The Tallest Man On Earth's songs and I couldn't play them. Too hard.
