This is my submission for Assignment 1 of Gary Burton's Jazz Improvisation Course, by Berklee Online on Coursera. Soloing over three choruses of What Is This Thing Called Love.  
Recorded on Studio One by PreSonus free version, usng a Yamaha Silent Guitar plugged in directly to the Mic Jack of my laptop, converted to mp3 using Format Factory.  
The ideas seem a bit simple, and there are a few bad notes in there, but perhaps you can enjoy it as a first exercise.  Looking forward to getting better following Maestro Burton's advice.

Assignment 1 - MGiordanelli - What Is This Thing Called Love

My submission for week 3 of Berklee Online's Jazz Improvisation Course on Coursera.
The idea is to play a scale once through and then practice the scale by improvising over it for around 60 seconds.  The scales are, in order: 
   A Lydian flat7
    C Locrian
    F7 altered
    D Dorian
    B Lydian
    Eb Aeolian

Just for fun!

6 Scales Practice Doodle

This is my submission for Berklee Online's Jazz Improv course on Coursera.  Third assignment, showing chord scales over Corea's 500 Miles High.  Played on my Yamaha SLG-100N, plugged in straight into my laptop.  Lo-tech, I know.
