I'm quite adept at the stuff I know and can and quite well, but I'm sort of stuck getting any better than that. I've considered lessons but with 3 little kiddos I find it hard to find time.

So, I bring it before yall. Any ideas how to get better or even what to work on to improve? I know that's a broad and vague question...
"ten or 15 years" I find that curious (not that it matters but usually people pretty much know what year or age they started ?)
So that said :: And (besides the previous suggestions) The biggest single jump in my getting better involve two things.

First and regardless of the other demands on your time, the reality is you have to find a way to make and take the time to practice regularly ...

#1 Practice every day (or at least 5-6 days a week ) for at least an hour preferably 2 hours
# 2 take every song you "think" you know well and play in a dark room
