The second was starting a band then writing songs, doing some gigs and recording. Each of those made me concentrate harder and practice more.

I played for myself for the first 15 or so years and my timing was awful. I've been playing with a drummer, bass player and another guitarist regularly for a couple of years now and I'd say my rhythm playing is pretty tight now.
Still can do a solo worth a damn but I'm working on it.
Not that I'm "good" cos I'm not, but I figure I must be "good enough" to other people to seem like I can play -- if that makes sense.
Getting lessons I was bumbling through, with no real direction.
Now I bumble through, with no real direction, but have a vague idea of what I'm doing.
Also having backing tracks to play along with helps. And the "Lick Library" series of DVD's, for learning specific parts. Because of the LL DVD's, I managed (just, with a lot of help from BigJon and Viz) to get through All Along the watchtower, in front of people.
Yes, @Bigjon, and @Viz, All Along was the first time I'd been brave/stupid enough to try that (and Hey Joe) in front of an audience......
