Furthermore, the song's music video was also filmed, and it was featured in VH1 on April 18th, 2005. The song was recorded in Haunted Hollow Studio, Virginia, and it was 4:35 minutes long. Almost every single member of the band worked on the lyrics of this song, starting from Dave Matthews, LeRoi Moore, Boyd Tinsley, and Mark Batson.
The instructor for the guitar lesson of American Baby is J.J Pattishall, who is from a musical household in Central Florida, where he gets to witness breathtaking jamming sessions live from his living room. He holds a B. He has a degree in music from Rollins College in Orlando, where he is currently serving as an adjunct professor of Contemporary Guitar Studies. Throughout his career, J.J. had the honour of playing and learning from the best musicians of their time.
The learnings have been quite influential on the way he teaches his students. According to him, simply playing a guitar song won't help you achieve your dream of becoming a professional guitarist. For that, you need to understand the soul of the composition. One of the core principles of J.J.'s teaching philosophy revolves around making students understand that it takes more than passion to become a successful artist; being an artist is a way of life.
