Are some people just not musically gifted, naturally? I can't tell if I'm a filthy quitter with a sucky work ethic or if I'm just one of those people who can't really do musical things that well. My parents, grandparents, and siblings were never really musically inclined either. Could there be music in people's genes?
My grandmother and great-grandmother were good musicians. However, the only grandchildren (there are 8) who are musical are myself and one of my cousins. I wasn't forced, and neither was he, but I can guarantee that both of those ladies were.
I don't know if it's aptitude, or practice, or passion, or all 3.
Also, never underestimate the power of a great teacher.

Hm. That could be part of my issue. I've always tried to teach myself or learn from videos. Maybe a teacher could be my golden goose.

I don't know what merit there is to genetics being involved, but if you're born into a musically-inclined family, you're more likely to be exposed to music starting at a younger age, and possibly be forced to play an instrument. These things would lead to someone being more proficient at music-related things (playing, composing, analyzing). However, even without that kind of upbringing, you can teach yourself to do anything with enough dedication and practice.

What would I have watched if it wasn't blocked?
That is the case for some, yes.
It can still be overcome by rigorous practice, though.
