Greats like Jimi, one can get so close, but still not quite relive it, more work at it only yields diminishing returns... I was never able to get too close of a replication to any other work, like those tribute bands that 'sound just like the record'. Me? nope, just get most of the notes then go off on making it 'my own' ;-) With greats like Jimi way too far to get close for even the most disciplined tribute minded ... Robin Trower? Stevie Ray Vaughn? still, close, but not quite there ...
