He was a prodigy, born to play music. The assortment of instruments he brought to those old songs is what makes those songs so iconic. The sitar on Paint It Black is, imo, among the top 5 coolest riffs ever played.

I share a birthday with him, and I play lots of instruments as well. It has made me ponder if there's any truth to astrology.
