Its one of those things you will always feel room for improvement. I've been playing for about 7 years, and while I'm much better than when I started, I still don't feel like a great guitar player.
I think you just have to push yourself to try things you find intimidating. For me, I have a bad tendency to keep playing rythym and not trying to much lead stuff...I need to step outside my comfort zone and try to learn a few complex solos.
If I were you I'd buy a couple lesson books, and download some tabs for songs you find challenging, and just put in the time.
Also, one thing that can raise your game is playing with others. If you play with someone who is better than you, you start to learn to keep up.
