Sometimes you might see the word gifted and talented used interchangeably. In my opinion, they both are different in some manner. The word "gifted" to some, is somewhat common in a phrase like "a gift from god" or the like. Because of that, gifted seems to be a stronger word than talented.
Talent is like skill but gifted is an exceptional level of talent. This is where the two words connect or link. A talented musician does not necessarily mean that he or she is gifted. Talents are skills that can be learned and developed while being gifted seemed to be of extraordinary talent quality.
Can someone with a talent become a gifted musician? Logically it is possible but it may be extremely difficult to achieve. Gifted is like being genetically hard-coded in the DNA of a person. It's like possessing genius genes with a mind to do wonders. Gifted people seemed to be highly regarded, recognized and popular because of their outstanding qualities while at the same time you can find your drummer friend who is playing the same drum pattern over the last 10 years.
You would probably have met some people with exceptional skills (gifted) in a particular field of music. For instance, I would regard John Williams as a gifted film composer. His numerous worldwide recognized works prove that he is able to outnumber other aspiring film composers. Of course there are many other gifted film composers waiting for their works to be heard. It is only a matter of time to break from the mere talents to the gifted realm.
I have seen very young performers who are not just talented but gifted because what they can do cannot be done by most people. Have a look at the performance here. Bear in mind that he's only 12 years old at the time of this video taken.
