Many of the questions you ask are completely unanswerable w/ any authority, specifically as to how it relates to your own development. Asking what X player did may have little to no relevance for how you hear/see/learn music. Plus, even if you followed their routine to the letter, you would likely (and should) come to a different result.

What is it exactly you want to do that you can't? What things exactly do you need to do to be able to do that or those things? If you are truly practicing areas of weakness for 6 hours, you should be well on your way to being able to express yourself at a very high level.

You mention being a 'great' player. We could have many a debate on what makes someone great. The goal of music should be expression. Albert King rules right along side Allan Holdsworth in my book.

Like Monk said, a genius is one most like himself.
