Chicago takes their pizza very seriously, and some ingredients are definitely "frowned upon," pineapple possibly the most.

Best pizza I ever had was a Chicago Style deep dish sausage pizza at Uno's. Although, it should have been sold in a package deal including a visit to a cardiologist.
But, for a simple slice, it's NYC all the way.

But what has pineapple ever done to anybody? It's just, well, pineapple. Now Sushi, that's a different thing.

They don't know their ass from their anchovy out on the West Coast when it comes to pizza.

Some different playing and sounds of my Tele with backing track from youtube.

Best pie I ever had was served in the North End of Boston in the seventies. You had to put foil on a coke bottle for the wine because they had a alcohol license issue.

Oh yeah, I love a goofy title:

You'll have to take my word for it that I knew nothing about this antipathy to pineapple on pizza in Chicago. Why I chose pineapple I've no idea. It just came into my mind. They call it Hawaiian over here! So, big apologies for that. Blame the stars.
So here's something. It's got a beat, a bass line and one fingerslip... just to prove it's live. I'm not very good at this repetitive stuff anyway. But the others have done some great stuff with it.

Thanks for all the contributions! Great to hear so many varied takes!
I also have some more listening to do since yesterday...
Beware: Pineapple is a favorite pizza topping for me. So this take might not be for you...

You're at a house party in Chicago and somebody says "let's order a pizza" and you say "let's get pineapple" and the room gets quiet, and the homeowner says something like "get out of my house" and there's this long pause...and then everybody laughs and you have another beer and you order pizza.
Without pineapple

So, I'm not going to say "use a backing track." But, yeah, you have a repetition problem here.
I think the solution is more variation in phrasing, density of notes, long vs short tones, dynamics and timbre, articulations, and exploitation of the acoustic guitar's percussiveness than you've got here. The form is a journey to a place that's simultaneously as close and as far from the point of origin as possible, and then a return. It's like the simplest possible recapitulation of the idea of blues (a journey to the IV and back). A solo has to somehow trace that arc, and if neither the form nor the rhythm section give you the way stations and diversions that make the journey more interesting, you have to use all the tools your instrument gives you. The three horn solos on the original recording are an incredible object lesson in different approaches to that (granted, that rhythm section + incredible genius of vision and musicianship didn't hurt).

I know how to live. One day I'll find out how to get round So What.

(Fact is, I'm just bored with two chords, John, I prefer a tune I can feel)

You think pineapple pizza is bad... when I was in Israel we had pizza.. but you could not mix meat and cheese... so imagine, you have pizza and you can have meat, or cheese, but not both. Plain old cheese pizza had to be it.

I dunno why, but ragman's take reminds me of:
I love listening to Bert Jansch and John Renbourn. Them two and Davy Graham were the only three who REALLY knew how to blend jazz and folk sentiments. I mean, it all comes from the ultimate american folk song: THE BLUES!
Anyway, Ragman--I think your playing has that sort of character and lilt to it. Tasty, airy, and mystical--yet still earthy and grounded in the soil
That's a compliment, sometimes they get lost in my internet meanderings.
