I made the decision around mid-college to really get serious and start learning WHAT I was playing, not just how to play physically. It's a tough road ahead, but just stick to it.

You sound just like me.....My favorite band was also Metallica when I started. they were what kept me playing. I too practiced poorly and pretty much played only songs I liked. By the time I was in 8th grade I could play pretty much any Metallica song (not all solos of course), but if you asked me to improvise 3 notes, I couldn't. I've since UPGRADED :D to Megadeth being my favorite band
