As a addendum - the moral of the story is also don't listen to anyone who tries to tell you you are not good enough to be a great player. If everyone listened to that nobody would get anywhere. One thing I learned as a guitar player is that there are many paths to any one thing. If we want to copy someone exactly note for note and emulate their feel, then maybe we can do this but hey, we got to find our own feel, and not a second hand version of someone else's music. Sometimes those who can emulate really well only do this because they cannot write a single original riff. Originality has its own greatness.
