I’ll give you a different answer than the others based upon my experience and definition.

A year in I did not feel like a guitar player because I could only play 3 songs from memory. Two years in, I had been practicing everyday but still only knew 3 songs. I then spent 2 months just working on learning songs. I am now up to a dozen that I have memorized and feel like I could perform in front of somebody. I finally felt like a guitar player and the coincided with hitting 500 hours of structured practice.
