Probably a folk, country or punk band, or a blues rock band. Something that requires simple walking or strumming basslines

don't fool yourself into thinking those are easy styles to play simply because of the technical simplicity involved. especially folk and country, those styles require LOTS of restraint and an excellent sense of timing. it's one thing to keep that same pendulum feel going for a song, it's another thing to keep that same feeling going for a set. it's far more of a mental challenge than a physical one.
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.
