Newbee here. Beethoven, Bach, Mozart, etc. basically wrote the way we interpret musical ideas today. There are other types, India, the Orientals and others have scales and positions we would not use in our everyday playing; the western influenced music. The Beethoven's, Mozart,s, of the world did have an advantage that they were born with. You can train all you want but, to be able to pull the musical thoughts out of your brain and write them down on a napkin without changes takes more than practice. The hand dexterity is practice. Piano vs. fretted neck require different approaches. This can be learned and practiced. Natural rhythm; we are all born with a natural internal clock that beats to a different drummer. I think the answer is associated with finding the right instrument for you. There will always be lesser and better persons than ourselves. Don't compare yourself with others. Just be happy and determined to do the best you can.
