Did Stephen Stills know Jimi Hendrix?
Jimi Hendrix appeared on Stills’ first solo album. Stephen Stills: “I followed Jimi Hendrix all around the country for a year learning how to play lead guitar. We were great friends, too, and he taught me some great tricks. We were going to do an album together. That song ‘Old Times, Good Times’ was the first try at that. After my solo album was turned in, we were going to go back to England and do an album. But he died.” Stills to Guitar Player in 1976: “I followed the dude around for two years learning how to play lead guitar. I literally followed him like he was my guru. People thought I was a groupie, but I wasn’t; I was going to music school.” He and Hendrix were soon friends and began jamming in clubs with other musicians like Buddy Miles and Johnny Winter. “Jimi and I played for fourteen hours once at my house in Malibu. We must have made up fifteen rock and roll songs, but forgot them all, because it wasn’t taped. We just played for the ocean.” In 2005 Stephen Stills has hinted
