I know I usually come on here and throw down alternative rock all the time.
Thought I'd try an old classic.

One chord is fine.
Two you're pushing it.
Three and you're into jazz.
Hey thats pretty cool 8) Interesting take on that one. :D
I really enjoyed that. The Doors is one of my favourite bands, but you definitely made the song your own ;)
Elpantalla,
Like said previously this is an interesting take on the song
and you make it your own.
My favorite Doors tune!
Good Job
John
ah, i love this song. realy liked your version - makes it more folk than jazz, but really fits the lyrics so it works well. i'd suggest you could develop it a bit by trying to imitate the 'lazy' piano solo on the original - y'know where notes are dissolving into each other - by messing around with open string, depending on what key you're in (or you could chang key to facilitate this). I don't think it would move too far away from the song as it references the original and would fit with the new direction you've taken it in. alternatively, try to change up the rhythm in the lead break you have - listen to pretty much any extended blues jam for tips on this if you're unsure, but the Hendrix Blues album or his Band of Gypsys Live at Filmore both spring to mind as examples, since improvising a lenghty lead without backing music can easily fall apart/become uninteresting if you're not a guitar-god (and even if you are, lol).
if you keep playing it, you can also use it to experiment with different chord voicings to develop your knowledge of chords (sorry if I'm saying stuff you already know - i dunno what level you're at other than having this one tune to go on). the 'jazzyness' of the existing harmony means it should work well.
