Learn to play by learning to play what others have played beforehand. Play along with records. Learn entire songs note-for-note. Sing with the record. This is easier said than done and requires dedication and concentration, especially in the beginning. Besides doing, imitating provides the most musical education in the most condensed fashion. You can practice scales and other exercises but in general the best way to learn new things is to learn from others (or make them up yourself!)
