I taught my son the ten/twelve chords I know… and handed him one of those Hal Leonard chord books.

Three or four weeks later he came to me and was playing along with stuff on CDs.

Got him lessons. Three or four years later, (three teachers later) the music place basically fired him. Said, “You dad is paying good money for you to come over here and jam with us.”

He was/is extremely talented. But what helps? Four three or four years (while maintaining a 3.8 GPA, he played four to five hours per day.
