If someone has a natural skill, he will pick it up quickly (but won't be able to plau squat in two weeks).
if someone does not have that natural ability, it will take 30 years.
I used to play and actually made a little money at it, and I sucked. I didn't have that natural ability so I made up for it with lots O'practice and work. I memorized how to play, I never got to where I realy felt it or it came naturally.
My neighbor used to come over and watch us practce in the garage. He was about 15 back then. He asked how to play so i loaned him an old flying V and showed him a few chords. Six months later he was much better than I was. He had that natural ability. He ended up touring europe with the young adolescents for a few years and played some session work on at least 10 albums.
