Get on Kijiji or it's ilk and find people to play with. You can sit alone and practice your fingers off, but anyone gets bored with that, eventually. Find people to play with and it's way more fun. Go to 'open mike' venues and look outside the house for any chance to play. Also, figure out how to record yourself and play along. It's really cool to put two lines together and see how well (or bad) they interact. I use my computer with (can I say this?) Magix software. You'll need a analogue/digital interface to plug into the computer via usb. Please do not give up! All of us have been there.
