Together with "The Inner Light", the "Wonderwall" project marked the end of Harrison's overtly Indian musical phase. After filming his scenes for the Shankar documentary "Raga" in Los Angeles, in June 1968, he decided to abandon his sitar studies and return to his first instrument, the guitar. In an interview to promote his Apple signing Jackie Lomax, in September, Harrison said that, although "Wonderwall Music" represented a style of music he had moved on from in recent months, "I still like album. I still think it's very good." He later cited the Bombay sessions for "Wonderwall" as the inspiration for his 1974 collaborations with Shankar – namely, the Music Festival from India and their subsequent North American tour. Both of these projects featured Indian musicians that Harrison first worked with in January 1968.
