Meh, I've known talented players who had no sense of music in that they could put together complex scales and rhythms to make music nobody wanted to listen to and others who could barely play a handful of open chords and yet write beautiful songs. The ability to play won't get you all the way there, you have to feel it too.
That being said I won't be the one to tell him that! If he keeps playing who knows, maybe one day it will all click.

Very true. I've been bouncing back and forth between bands with capable musicians and bands with quality songwriters in my playing history. Seems ridiculously hard to find both qualities in a single package.
