blues rock is GREAT for getting your feet wet as it provides ample opportunity to bust loose during instrumental vamps while still maintaining relative simplicity during the more structured parts.

like Antonio said, joining a band or just jamming with others WILL be beneficial. you might not always see the direct benefit depending on the people involved but it's there.
I don't have to worry about restraint, I have nothing to hold back.
