Quality is more important than quantity my friend. Challenge yourself to learn one new thing a day. Make sure that you are totally absorbing the concepts, techinques, etc... and not just memorizing. Really get inside it.

You need specific goals too. Just saying, "I want to get wicked" ain't gonna cut it. Pick very specific things you want to learn or do and work on them until you can play them easily. Then raise the bar for yourself... what's the next thing you want to do after that? And yes...there will be a next thing. There will ALWAYS be a next thing...more to learn, more ways to improve. That's one of the coolest things about playing music.

Hint: Start playing with other musicians who can kick your ass. You'll be surprised how quickly you will improve.
