There is so much that goes into it, it's hard to say. I see people equate talent with playing very complex and difficult pieces perfectly as talent, and that's one aspect. Good musicianship comes from putting in enough time into practicing and playing figure out all the mistakes that can be made, and correcting them, always become a better version of oneself than the day before. Jerry Garcia said something like if he knew there was so much to learn on guitar he would reconsider another occupation if he had to choose over again. I think the mark of a good musician is being aware of your limitations, using what you have but at the same time pushing yourself to improve. Peter Buck said he never play anything that beyond his ability. (paraphrasing what they said) But it's not about just how or what musician plays, it's about what the musician conveys emotionally too. I think it takes certain je ne sais quoi to convey emotion through music. Music is a never ending learning curve.
