There were a few points in the doc where some of the Beatles would come in saying "I was thinking about this song last night while watching TV" and they'd hum it out or play some of the notes in their head on the piano. We saw Paul mess around with the guitar in real time as he slowly put together the chords for Get Back. Moments like this, to me, feel like times where that natural talent is necessary.

Not to say that I'm particularly good at it, but this too is a muscle that gets better with time. I recently started playing music again with my highschool band. The guitarist worked at songwriting for the past 15 years and can now write out a song on demand, many of which are (in my opinion) great.
