@bazonics Mr McL says "10/8 going into 20/8" in a Syracuse NY 1972 performance of the song, which you can find posted a few places on YouTube... including a 50+ minute posting of the show!

@theman2890 You're absolutely right here. It was given to me as a 1st year dictation test when I was at Leeds Music College, England 1973. 20 over 8. I didn't get the right answer at the time and when it was explained it made great and logical sense. Still does. Ever tried playing in this time? Its a right one to count!! Just feel it. So much easier. Kindest Regards

@toof I'm not sure 6/10 is a real time signature, but it's definitely got a five pulse to it, so call it 5/4, 10/8 or something like that, depending on how you wanted to write it I guess. Boogie in five!

“When I hear new music coming into my head, its mission is integrated into its notes. It basically tells me how it wants to be.” – John McLaughlin. From Page 1 of the book “Follow Your Heart – John McLaughlin song by song.”

i'm sick of people saying only music from decades past is good. get your head out of your ass and discover something new, theres good stuff out there. also who gives a fuck how old you are, we aren't impressed. well, maybe some of these people who share the sentiment that only music from before 1980 is good would be impressed. quit being elitist assheads.
and yes, i love mahavishnu orchestra. i also love kanye west. i bet that makes me a simpleton though. one cannot like hip hop and jazz! shame

Great call: made it easy. Thanks. I composed a tune using all dominant chords inspired by this tune.
Didn't even know the name of it. Knew in the first bar this was it.
@deepislandboy lol, I wonder how many plastic guitars would get smashed in frustration trying to play MO in RockBand?

I saw Mahavishnu Orch. live....w/Weather Report on the same bill....there were moments where Mahavishnu was so painfully loud, but then the most sublime, beautiful melodies would suddenly appear...it was like the sun bursting thru clouds....that changed my ideas about what music could be
