Stuck and dont know what to do...

Ok heres my situation. I have taken a few lessons and learned a few thing like some theory and scales. i kinda stopped taking them do to my school and football and stuff. but anyways im kinda of musically stuck. i dont know what to work on or what to do. i know this is such a newbie question but im really frusterated right now and wanna keep playing but dont know what to do. and im sorry i dont wanna learn tabs.:help:
 
Break your practice up: Songs, Theory, Technique, Jamming.
Take it day by day. As long as you make a little progress each day, soon you will playing all kinds of stuff and having a great time. Get in a band somewhere along the way and most of all, have fun.

Btw, there's not much to learning tabs. Just play the notes as indicated. Instant song.
 
Go back to the beginning and do your past lessons again. It will get you back into things and the 2nd time thru will be fast and probably notice things you didn't before. Once back up to speed you will be in better position to decide what next step needs to be.
