I had an irritating revelation today. Tabs have ruined my guitar playing. I started playing with tabs and then kept playing to them (guitarpro) because it was easy to retune songs so I could play along. My skills have developed and also my ear, I can learn songs by ear (tho not as easy or fast as I would like). But now I wonder if anyone has any pointers/tips on where to basicly start over. Should I just start playing to songs "for real" and try to learn more songs by ear? I need a way to develop my confidence in my playing. I can play some very hard stuff but I sometimes get stuck when I try to improvise or come up with own ideas. I know some theory but not enough I think.

What would you guys say are the most important areas to develop a good basic tone, feel and creativity?
I can play some fast things, but I have played with other people and been like "man, that guy can strum the most wicked, evil G chord i've ever heard. And he does the same things as me!"
