Had the song “When the Lights Go Out” by The Black Keys in my head all day. Great song and easy to play, but not very interesting without the other instruments.
This one was good practice. Getting better at moving around quickly on the fretboard and quick hammer-n-pulls sound better. Got it pretty good with one take. Not the first take, mind you, but I didn’t do any editing besides noise removal.
KH – Some random part of Lies (by The Black Keys)

Otherwise still just trying to memorize chords and move swiftly between them. Practicing the blues scale to hopefully get my fourth finger to be useful. Playing around with different tunings, like dropped D to practice Tool’s “No Quarter” (alright, it’s a cover, but I like theirs better than Led Zeppelin’s).
