1. Intuition mostly “muscle-memory” earned from previous experience.

2. Don’t assume you’re the next Mozart. Someone is, statistically it’s not you.

Maybe it's just muscle-memory, but clearly there are brains which develop it 100x faster than others, depending on the topic. See the aforementioned Mozart and the music topic. I think there are a lot of young and not so young adults whose peak performance in instrument playing is equal to Mozart's at age 8.
There are always exceptional cases that won’t apply to just about everyone else. Mozart did more than just play instruments.
