[@robscallon]

🔥🔥🔥

[@BaronVonBonBon]

Isn't that a neat looking guitar Rob? I wonder where he got it.

[@SpicyNotSalty]

I’m so glad that you picked Andrew as the winner in your competition. He earns that guitar over and over again with every video he makes next. Love both of your music, keep on rocking Rob and Andrew🤟

[@sinnsykliekyu6849]

This is blowing my mind

[@aia8036]

Like they were saying in the other comments, the contrast between instruments for each personality is just... chef's kiss, absolutely loved this

[@allama1210]

i never thought i’d love a song with an electric guitar and an accordion in it but... here i am

[@andreszarmach554]

Please put your music on Spotify. Or anywhere. I'd buy it all immediately.

[@VanVlearMusic]

Thanks :) I'm working on it!

[@sierragray7719]

I love how "the others" look so bored while waiting for him to finish his accordion solo.

[@Hunkymonkey7492]

Rob scallon signature!!!

[@tristansterling7571]

Doomboy105 He was the winner of the Contest!!

[@gustavoabreu3097]

47 years! 2:30

[@Flats.Flounder]

😔🪗..47 🤯🎸🎸🎸47 YEARS?! 😂😂😂 I love it!

[@VanVlearMusic]

Lmao, best comment ever. I love hearing from people that actually know what’s going on in the song

[@marvinkmooneyoz]

I’m absolutely loving your Pirates of pens ants

[@VanVlearMusic]

Pens Ants...that's fun, I'm gonna reuse that

[@grahamconnorhudsonjameson8834]

Why does this guy only have 5k subscribers?!

[@aaronklein3480]

because you didnt share it enough!!!

[@SpicyNotSalty]

We all have to start copying and pasting his videos in the comments section of literally every music-related video. This guy deserves a million subscribers for his talent (and time and effort)

[@stargazer8328]

Thank you so much for this accompaniment. I’ve used it many times.

[@alloraptorgen2]

This is really good. And I love the play that the song comes from, The Pirates of Penzance, and I would like to hear more from that play seeing this sounds so good.

[@VanVlearMusic]

Jrassic Allosaurus thank you! I love pirates so much that I had plans once to do most of the musical. Actually I did one other song already if you want to go find it. Maybe next up is “how beautifully blue the sky”

[@alloraptorgen2]

Andrew Van Vlear I’m actually in a play of the pirates of Penzance, but due to the Epidemic it may be delayed and suffer issues. Our pirate king is already having to step out for untold reasons. But the show must go on. I personally like the major general and the fo man bares his steal parts the most. One for its funny lyrics and the other for a mix of funny lyrics and catchy melody.

[@VanVlearMusic]

Jrassic Allosaurus wait how does the show go on without the pirate king?!

[@alloraptorgen2]

Andrew Van Vlear we gonna have to improvise somehow, find someone else or hope the current king comes back, maybe cut a little bit. But we will keep trying to continue, my drama teacher dosnt give up.

[@geegee952]

You put that guitar to perfect use! Very nice

[@HlootooThunderhammer]

GOSH I love how you do Ruth's parts. It sounds like something I'd hear playing in Spain or Italy. Kinda wish it was longer.

[@VanVlearMusic]

Thanks! I think you are the second person to reference Ruth…I like hearing from people who are familiar with the original :)

[@HlootooThunderhammer]

@@VanVlearMusic YOU ARE VERY WELCOME! :) Yo I'm obsessed with the Kevin Klein version as well as the one from the Canadian Stratford Festival years ago. I now declare it my favorite G&S Opera next to Iolanthe and the Mikado.

[@1on95]

Cool to see you use that guitar, man!

[@JediMaestr0]

I need more Pirates of Penzance in this style haha!

[@VanVlearMusic]

Paul Brennan if I ever have time, I would do basically the whole musical!! But realistically, next up is How Beautifully Blue the Sky

[@JediMaestr0]

Andrew Van Vlear Can’t wait! Pirates of Penzance could use more instrumental covers.

[@RobertRussellComposer]

Oh, I love this so!

[@coragon42]

Your talent goes horribly underrated!

[@rjaustin1888]

Love this!!!!

[@rachelblum4]

That was AMAZING! I can't stop smiling because that was just so incredible to watch

[@yeahbutthendragons152]

Having played Ruth in this show, I really appreciated this. I love the contrast of the instruments, it fits their personalites!

[@VanVlearMusic]

Awesome! It’s nice to hear from someone else who is familiar with the show :) I’m assuming most people don’t understand the context of me mouthing “forty-seven years!!”

[@pangolinproductions576]

One of my favorite musicals. Pirate King would be dope too.

[@VanVlearMusic]

Sju-Nu Productions Pirate King is on my list! (It’s a long list...but it’s on there)

[@teriscallon]

Nice...such fun!

[@diamondkelly37]

It’s just so goood !!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤ ah!

[@diamondkelly37]

Also perfect that Fredrick is electric guitar/ Rex smith who played him in the movie was a rock star before a teen idol

[@WeaverBoquist]

This was amazing!

[@VanVlearMusic]

Thanks Cousin Ben!

[@WeaverBoquist]

@@VanVlearMusic Whaaat? I commented before even reading the name. Small world! But seriously, I love this cover. Especially the second "47 years" Beautiful work

[@VanVlearMusic]

@@WeaverBoquist haha that’s awesome! but yes the world is even smaller of people who would appreciate this video. Anyone who would use and understand the phrase “2nd 47 years…”🤌🏻

[@aleksey6151]

You're gonna be big one day!

[@diamondkelly37]

Woah!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@pugo7925]

Long live the accordion!

[@TokyoBlue587]

I want that electric guitar

[@SteeleFarm]

Excellent use of Rocking guitar and Accordion. Although in the middle I had to double check that I wasn't on a merry-go-round. One last thing, you should never text and play. You might end up in a polka. Thankfully you got rid of the phone just in time!

[@axelnilsson6478]

Hey, this was really good

[@Dr_CoolKid69_MD]

Awesome!! I love it!

[@PlanetBobstar]

Sick! I love the vibes this arrangement gives the song. Would you ever consider doing Away! Away! My Heart's on Fire?

[@VanVlearMusic]

Planet Bobstar thank you! YES that is an awesome idea!! I have other PoP arrangements planned (how beautifully blue is up next) but I completely forgot about Away Away!

[@PlanetBobstar]

@@VanVlearMusic Niiice! I just recently got into the musical and it's just replete with piratical bangers. Away Away is a short little ditty but I think your snappy style would suit it perfectly. I can already imagine what sort of twist you'll give to How Beautifully Blue

[@VanVlearMusic]

@@PlanetBobstar Cool cool, well it is nice to know that I have 1 fan who would like any future pirates stuff I do :)

[@PlanetBobstar]

@@VanVlearMusic Deffo, your production quality is great and you really bring out the icony of Sullivan's melodies; Subbed!

[@lucashernandez8146]

3:15 gold Also 2:42

[@Numberplay]

that sweep picking was lit

[@Abay95]

Pleeeeeeeease upload the chords for the piano or a tutorial! I want to learn this particular music, but I can't find the tutorial anywhere!

[@VanVlearMusic]

You can actually find the original sheet music from the play for free on IMSLP! Maybe some day I will make sheet music for my specific arrangement, but you can just go download the original and that will be great for the piano

[@cultofbeats8987]

you're style changed after you got the guitar from rob and it's awesome
