Music Videos Jimi Hendrix

How many years of guitar will it take me to be able to play Hendrix, SRV, Clapton etc.?
I have been playing guitar for a year and I’m really starting to get into blues guitar. I’ve been looking at tabs for Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Eric Clapton and I cant even touch any of their stuff. Specifically I really want to be able to play Little Wing (Hendrix) and Life without you (Vaughan). Even after a solid week of watching instructional videos on youtube and working on the tab i still cant even come close to playing even the intro.
As a guitarist when should i expect to be able to play this kind of music? Obviously these are 3 of the greatest guitarists ever but plenty of people can cover what they do.
I can play just about anything that comes on the radio which is all made up of basic chord progressions, power chords, and boring solo’s. I want to be able to cover (or make) that blues sound. A song with real purpose and emotion, and you dont find that anywhere on the radio today.
Anyway the ? is how much longer realistically am i looking it.
You have to be a visionary to play like that. If you are talking about playing the stuff that they wrote, it shouldn’t take long. But in order to come up with improvisations and song ideas that are on the same level, you will need to not just invest a lot of time, but have some really good ideas.
