Talent comes from desire and the willingness to do what it takes to get it. It boils down to practice.

If you are willing to put in the work, you can do it. I practice a couple of hours about 3 times a week. Enough to be good, but a long way from being great.

I was not born with talent. What God gave me I had to develop. It takes time. If you are willing to play the same musical phrase 500 times, you will get it down.

Patience and desire are the beginning of talent. From there it is hard work. In the words of Chet Atkins:

There are no shortcuts.
