All good suggestions.
In addition, I would say find a group of folks who are better than you and hang out with them.
When I was starting out, I was lucky enough to live near a music store where impromptu 'jam' sessions would break out regularly. I cannot tell you how much I learned from just watching and trying desperately to keep up.
At first, I was extremely intimidated, but you get over that and most musicians, I've found, are quite accomodating and more than willing to share their knowledge.
