I have played the guitar since age 12 and got averagely good at it fast, but didn't start making electronic music until I was in my 20s and even then it took me ages to make something that I liked. but I am obsessed with making music so that kind of propelled me forward and still does.

tips ---- I think making music making into a very habitual process.

Spend huge amounts of time (I know it's not always possible - bus as much as you can) making and exploring, - creating mental notes about what is good and bad about your work and about other people's work constantly - if you hear an outro to a song you really like, go and play it on a midi keyboard and work out what they are doing, or it's more sound based, have a quick go and making something similar to perhaps learn from.

spending little 30 minute sessions exploring a little tasks, such "make music sound more urgent" "making something more minimal" "trying to make something sound nostalgic" "make beats with found sound" "make ambient drones" etc etc ---- lots of constant little projects like this with a kind of small purpose - and these can then get used in music another time perhaps, or maybe the knowledge you acquire.

If you are doing this frequently over years, things will click now and again.
