Also, don't be afraid to try something new on your own. Don't wait for someone to tell you when you should move on, or what you should move on to. You mentioned you've kind of just been stuck playing a basic scale pattern. If you have it down, and you understand what you're doing with it (and only then will you actually have it down right), move on to another beginner type lesson. Or even try something a little more advanced.

The thing with practicing is you always need to try to push yourself to do something a little harder than before. You can play the same thing over and over again and be an expert at it, but when you go to try something different it will be completely new and you may fail miserably. But don't let that discourage you, because you can't expect to be good at something new right away obviously.
