Being talented, Joe and Ted are about to make a fresh start (6)

I believe the answer is:

gifted

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'being talented' is the definition.
('gifted' can be a synonym of 'talented')

'joe and ted are about to make a fresh start' is the wordplay.
'joe' becomes 'GI' (GI Joe).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'are about' says to put letters next to each other.
'to make a fresh start' becomes 'f' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'ted' after 'f' is 'fted'.
'gi' put next to 'fted' is 'GIFTED'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for gifted that I've seen before include "Talented, naturally accomplished" , "very skilful" , "Exceptionally clever" , "Presented" , "With high talent" .)
