John McLaughlin - Lead Sheet on "The Wish"

I really love this song. In part I guess because I love Indian music so much, especially the way McLaughlin plays with Indian musicians. This song is purely C Lydian. The alap or intro section is a long free improvisation around C Lydian. The taal or rhythm is in 9/4. To learn more about the music of India click on my Sounds of India page or go out and buy a copy of "Remember Shakti" where John plays another longer version of this composition.
