The problem here is going to be the expression. Looks like you are using reason here - the trick would be having a subtle wahand a realistic vibrato both of which you could change whilst playing.
The wah on most synths is done by a low-pass or in some cases a band-pass filter with a moving cut-off frequency to make the wah sound. The only thing is that a lot of guitarists go through some kind of overdrive, compression or distortion before they go through a wah-wah pedal, so you'd really need to have your filter AFTER some distortion or you will find that the distortion exaggerates the frequencies which the filter is letting through by adding harmonics and all kinds of lovely things.
Most synths do vibrato by moving the pitch up above the original pitch and down below the original pitch, but when you do vibrato on a guitar you don't generally go lower unless you are using a tremolo arm. Programming the vibrato to happen after a certain time wouldn't work because it wouldn't always start at an appropriate time.
My suggested controllers: a pedal to do the wah, mod wheel or well-practised pitch bend for vibrato. Or get a guitar

I'm a great Mike Oldfield fan and i think there's too much distortion and echo to be seemed the Mike's guits But your idea is very good
