Thinking about when I started playing guitar how good it felt after rehearsing a solo for several days at less than half speed, stringing it all together and playing at speed along with the whole song.
All the best musicians I know have played in cover bands/ wedding/ jazz bands. I'd definitely say learning other people's music and practicing or playing regularly is what makes a good musician more than any other factor.
Of course, you don't need to be a great musician to make great music so you find a balance. I've played in bands with great guitarists who wouldn't pick up a guitar between rehearsals and these days I mostly noodle around playing my own compositions in strange tunings for an hour or so a day - and that's more than I have played in years.
Whatever floats your boat.
