You just have to find your own groove first, man. Not neccesarily Noel's. Play around with your own chord progressions, develop a groove and strum pattern, and above all have fun. Then just do it over and over and over and over. You have to live and breathe your instrument. Make it part of you. The guitar is only a means to produce a sound that comes from YOU and not the guitar. It's like, (and forgive the bad metaphor) you are the CD and it is the speaker. Just let it flow. And then, when you're ready to learn somebody else's whole song, listen to it over and over and make it yours. In other words, you just have to feel it.

just practise playing full bars of chords... mix your strumming patterns around a bit. just gotta feel it... and you'll know when you can feel it

without trying to sound pompus...the more you play...the better you get...there is nothing more to it than that. Absolutely nothing. You will develop. Like that guy said....practise....unless you truely are not musical, which I'm not suggesting. Its just that some people genuinely will never be that good at playing music. I've witnessed it enough!
Hope that helps...

If you keep at it one day you'll wake up and it will just happen. Simple as that. Magic.
