Just thought I'd share something that has helped me become a better player, I started recording myself using Garage Band. I'm Just breaking into the intermediate player level, but the biggest step I made was recording and being able to listen to myself. The thing it forced me to do was play clean and use a metronome. I'm now dabbling recording two guitar tracks, or a guitar track and a mic'd up uke. I've learned so much doing this and will have a library of my progress. Still have to figure out drum tracks and bass, but that will come in time. Also want to eventually move onto a different program. Bought some monitors and some studio headphones. I love recording its a whole other tool to help elevate my guitar playing.
