i would say that creativity is learned , just like guitar theory , technique and stems from the aural sense of music.
i dont think that anyone has a natural ability to just know music , due to music being so subjective anyway.
when learning guitar , the steps are ; theory and technique followed by improvisation as a result of a higher level of understanding of music .
basically you have to be able to hear the music in your head before you play it , and maniplulate it to any degree .
improvisation is a never ending story without limits . sure there are only twelve standard notes , but the combinations are virtually , if not endless.
to be able to improvise at all - a person will need some theoretical knowledge and technique .
