You don’t have to be an amazing guitar player to be a “professional” but you do need to have talent of some sort. John Lennon wasn’t an amazing guitar player, but was an amazing song writer. Ringo certainly wasn’t an amazing drummer… but Paul McCartney and George Harrison were both great players and songwriters.
As far as your son’s guitar journey, tell him to hang in there. As long as he enjoys it, keep playing. Guitar is hard and the plateaus between “levels of getting better” and long. But it’s not a race. … and no 16 year old wants to hear that.
