- In today's video, I'm sharing the story of how I got my guitar cover of the Friends theme song (I'll Be There For You) featured in the Friends Reunion Special on HBO Max. I learned a really important lesson from the experience that you'll hopefully find very encouraging!

How do you handle copyright in reference to your arrangements? I've looked into it, but it seems so confusing. Still researching!
I will flat out say it. I wanna be THE classical guitarist when it comes to Movie, TV and Video Game Music. And I 100% believe, that I can make that happen.

I loved every bit of the reunion. I laughed, I got surprised, I got sad and emotional, But I remember tearing up during that scene and started crying when a sad guitar theme of "Friends" started playing. I said to myself, this is probably the most beautiful thing I have watched since the end of 2019, without even knowing that it was my biggest Musical Idol who arranged and covered that beautiful music.
And when I saw this video and its title on my feed, I yelled out loudly, Oh... My... Gaawd....
Achievement or no achievement ... We'll be always with you. 👏👏👏👏
What's something you've done that seemed like a failure at first - but over time and with perspective, you've seen benefits from? Leave me a comment!
Exercise in general
This is crazy. Congrats.
My May it Be piece for awhile didn't have that many views (for me anything over 100 is great) so it was around the average 20-30 some views. All of a sudden it started getting more traction and is now over the 200 mark which is good for me. I don't know if my videos will ever get that much traction so that may seem like a failure to some but I still carry on not with the hope that the videos take off but the hope that I can inspire others and find those in UA-cam land that do enjoy what I'm doing.
@@rgreigjazzguitar nice tunes !!
I have watched you more than i have watched friends, and i think some of your arrangements are better (for me) than the original tracks. You make your arrangements so unique.
That means a lot!
definitely second this
Yeah some of them are definitely better than the original
Absolutely agree, failure is part of success - it takes countless mistakes to get what you want. Personal for me my UA-cam channel isn't growing very fast, but every video I do I learn something and grow from it. Thanks for the video
Huge congrats man! This experience must have been really exciting, so cool it turned out this way :) And I guess failure is in the eye of the observer
Thanks Jazz! That's a good way to put it
I love hearing about the techniques you used to make it sound sad, without resorting to the "cheap" minor-ing ! that's very elegant. Thanks for the insights. I wouldn't call it depressing though... rather nostalgic,... or regretful ? I don't know all the words in english, but surely whilst being sad your theme has hints of smile that the word "depressing" doesn't quite convey.
Anyway, man, that email was cold. Wouldn't have been much harder to add a bit about how the arrangement was beautiful, or even just fitting for the show. I can't imagine how bad that industry must be to strip people of these basic communication qualities. Still ! I can totally imagine how you and your wife both freaked out realizing this was real, haha ! I've had the chance to be involved (although rather indirectly) with a band I really dig (am in the field of animation/cgi) so I can somewhat relate.
Anyway, it certainly was encouraging. What an acknowledgement ! Mad props to you. Cheers, and keep on arranging. :)
Love your channel, Nathan! This is an awesome story. Thanks! :) -Jared
That is so amazing Nathan! Congratulations! It would be awesome if more shows or movies featured a song or two of yours here and there! Maybe now they will, if someone from that reunion episode refers someone else to your work!
(cough, cough Disney cough)
Lol
I got you. Making those arrangements is very difficult and needs a lot of time. When you upload them and it doesn´t get the number of views you expected you are disappointed and think that arrangement is not good enough. But trust me those numbers meaning nothing. All of your arrangements are masterclass and you are in fact one of the best guitarist in the world (the best for me).
Wow! Great performance 👏🎸👍thanks for sharing All the best
what a beautiful lesson/story to share. Thanks Nathan
Congratz man !!! Very Nice and motivacional story. Thnx for share !

amazing that you got your cover on the friends reunion ep! I just arranged my first song on guitar (the killers - mr brightside) it was quite a challenge as i only used my ear but was really fun. Thanks for the free training i'm hoping they will help me move forward with my arranging.
