Ten Commandments of Learning to Play Jazz
Don't be put off by the title of this video - just substitute "Blues" (or any other style of music) for the word "Jazz".
This good advice applies to any genre of music IMO.

Worth repeating?

Play Blues.
Listen to Blues.
Record yourself.
Enjoy the process.
Don't do everything at once.
Learn music theory & train your ears.
Imitate good blues.
Learn songs.
Play with real people.
Start now.

Play, listen, improve, repeat.
