Arm yourself with the basics and then jam as much as possible.I spent 6+ hours a day learning guitar and building my skills when I first started(actually...I still do that often),but its another beast to apply the rhythms,licks,skills e.c.t in a band/jam situation.You'll quikly find out that all of those sweet riffs and licks will slip your mind when playing with others.Structured practice dosn't produce music.Practice improves skill.Music is felt and expressed,not exercised.Play with whom ever you can as much as possible.
