I just think its in the genes sometimes (especially when it comes to musicality and overall musicianship). One common trait though is application, even those that are incredibly talented practise hard. My advice is to keeping practising (every day for at least one hour) and surround yourself with excellence. Being around better guitar players will open your mind to new techniques and ideas and ensure that you keep progressing. Best of luck!

I do not want to spend a lifetime to do what they accomplished so quickly, i am 59 years old and i want to play like them now, not tomorrow, you must have the secrets, quick and simple, right. well tell me and show me how it is done.
