Deliberate Practice

Pro's practice to get better. They practice outside their comfort zones pushing the boundaries of their skills. They practice new chord progressions at faster and faster paces.

Learning From Failure
The amateur uses failure as justification to quit and give up. A pro uses failure to get better. The main component is humility. Humility to realize that you are not as good as you want to be, but know that you can be if you continue to work and learn from failure.
A common element with pro's is the fact they use failure not only as lessons, but as fuel to give them more energy.
Focus
The focus to stay with it. The focus to practice when you could be out with friends. The focus to believe in something even if you don't have evidence that it can be done.
Maintaining focus for the long term is one of if not the most important difference.
