Every time you ask "how do I do that?" or "how did ---- do that?", the answer is about technique.

The best players have practiced enough so that the techniques they use are as natural to them as breathing.  Most people who never work on technique end up playing the same thing over and over, because they're trapped inside the very few techniques they know.  

You have to work to be able to play great. That 10,000 hour rule is for real.
