I definitely agree on the practicing.I play along with cd's and try to record myself as often as possible. Listening to yourself on playback will sound different than when you were playing it. It also gives yourself a chance to critique what you have done. Sometimes I'll be playing and come up with stuff and it's like "where did that come from!" Besides, recording yourself helps when your trying to remember a riff or solo you came up with weeks ago.Like some of the others have said it won't come overnight, but don,t give up.Good luck.
