Just go and do it. Go to live shows, talk to local musicians after their set, see if they'd be down to get together and riff. Eventually you'll build a network of people you're familiar and comfortable with. Dudes that are about it are always looking to play, and the more you do it the better you'll get at it. I strongly encourage you to ignore any hangups or anxiety you may potentially have around it. Just go into it seeking to have fun because that's the whole point anyway.
