Taking lessons is always a good idea if you can find a good teacher. I take drum lessons, and have taken guitar lessons from the guy I take drum lessons from now.
But just practice your scales, and find out who you like and what kind of style your going for, and just try to figure out what others are playing.
imitation before simulation
repetition is also the godfather of learning
Creativity will come in time.
What kind of style are you going for and I could most likely list you some bands to check out.
Hendrix - All Along the Watchtower
is one of the songs where he style comes out the most.
