That depends on what kind of music you listen to. If you're an Eric Johnson disciple, reast assured, it will be years before you can plan anything of his and make it recognizeable. But most mainstream or classic rock can be copied enough to give you some satisfaction and sense of advancement.
I used to play along with LP's and cassettes. That's how I learned everything by ear. Now with the Internet, I've gotten sooooo lazy. I just Google the title of the song plus "TAB" and find it right there. It's true that there's no getting around practice. But you need to practice music you enjoy to keep interested in it. When I was seven and got Van Halen I, lessons didn't keep my attention very long while she made me play Love Me Tender and Mary Had a Little Lamb. You need to learn songs you will enjoy playing.
