For example: we had some guests over while my dad was playing guitar, one of the guests just picked up a spare guitar and started playing with him.

They hadn’t spoke before and they just started making music with each other.
I’m sorry I’m not very good at describing it but how can a musician just start a duet without talking. It seems like magic.

if you know how the building blocks of music works, there’s a language to it, and those trained in music theory can speak in “phrases” and tie them together on the fly.
You can’t just rote play to do this, you have to get into the nuts and bolts and really understand intuitively how sound is put together and becomes music, master the nuances and patterns until you grasp the underlying “language.”
Once you do though, it’s really easy to anticipate where a song is going to go well enough to respond to it.
I’m just good enough at this to know that I’m bad at it, but also that it can be done.
