One tune that has some of that Mahavishnu feel is "Scatterbrain."
Jeff Beck, Himself:
It started as a schizophrenic run that I did when I was nervous in the dressing room - two seconds before going on. And Max, being the calculated S.O.B. that he is, he said, "You know that annoying scale you play? I've written some chords underneath it." He said, "If you move it up a semitone, I can make a track out of it." And before we knew it, we had this song.

I've written some chords underneath it
