I've got an even better idea. How about learning how to play like tot_Ou_tard? All those famous folks you just mentioned have their own styles, and became famous because of their own styles, not because they copied someone else!
Just some dribble and food for thought. The music should come from you, and come from your heart. Play chord progressions and scales long enough, and it will do just that!
Then, and only then, are you beginning to get somewhere!
