I'd try and get into a band Jimi.  Learn those songs you think you hate.  Play out in a pub somewhere and have some fun with it.
It's hard to wing it while you're learning when you're fronting a band I would think. I'm learning songs here at home, and when I get good enough to at least sound like an awful guitar player, I'd be confidant. As for playing in bars, I've done my time as a bassist lead singer, I can't stay up that late, hurts too much the next day! I would love to get a group to jam with regularly though. Jon made a good point though.

Pedal building is like the opposite of sex.  All the fun stuff happens before you get in the box.

I wouldn't discourage someone from learning theory, but blues and jazz area lot of vocabulary of licks placed into some improvisational context. Learning a new scale will not help you improvise better.
Plus, Locrian mode will just make you sound horribly depressing.   ;)

Sure, why not a little Alex Lifeson?

I've spent the last 35 years studying and attempting to learn Rush. Clearly not enough.

I gave to admit that performances hold no interest for me. I love to learn for learning's sake. I'm weird.
