Unless you're another Chet Atkins--a guitar genius--you won't become an expert in a few months or even a year. It takes constant effort to improve your playing because there is so much to learn. Continue with your lessons if possible; you will gradually see much improvement so long as you apply yourself.
Many would-be guitarists seem to think that a few lessons are all that is required to bring proficiency to them--that in a month's time they will be able to play on stage and wow the audience. That is simply not so. Like every sport or hobby, it takes time, practice, patience, and perseverence to accomplish the goal of performing.

There are many things you can do. Such as when ever I hear something that sounds ''cool'' I try and play it by ear, but if it is too fast or too complicated I will look for the tabs and learn it. Learning to play the things you hear that you like, is one of the best ways to expand and grow as a player. Depending on what style or styles you want to learn there are other methods. ''Shred'' Guitar takes a while to learn by repeating riffs over and over again with a metronome and increasing the speed until you are able to play the riff as fast as you want. Starting off simple and making things more complex as you go are key. It's like building a House. Powertab is a Tablature Editor and is free. I write down complex riffs, start them off slow and speed them up when I can play the riff cleanly enough. You have to start with the foundation and work your way up. I just assume that you want to play faster and be more technically proficient, sorry if these are not the answers that you are looking for.
