Lessons are probably good. And as others have no doubt said, practice practice practice. But here is an interesting tidbit I heard recently:

There are two types of musicians or at least, learning styles. One is the kind that practices for the purpose of getting better.

The other is the kind that practices because it's fun. I got fairly good at the guitar and bass, but I do not remember ever practicing for the purpose of getting good. I played because it was fun. Golfers are the kind of people who, when they encounter challenge......bear down. With music practice, the challenge of 'getting' a song needs to be its own reward. When I was active in playing music, hours would roll by while I "practiced."
