Practice, practice, practice...

Dont' get discouraged if you can't get something right on the first try. It's all about how much you practice. You get out what you put in. Good luck.

i started off with guitar tabs and trying to play stuff that i heard. i think training your ears is one of the most valuable things any musician can do

Something i'm working on at the moment with one of my students:

It isn't always your fingers that aren't allowing you to play something (say a chord), sometimes it's simply the position of your arm, try bring your arm closer or away from the neck.

Basically, always be prepared to think "outside of the box", and take nothing for granted.

Oh yeah, and buy a bloody metronome!
