I studied music in college with Andrew, he rode a unicycle to class and wore a bow-tie almost everyday. I don't think anyone quite fully understood him, but we all knew he was an absolute genius. I think he performed at least once with every instrument in our weekly performance forum class. He absolutely deserves this!

Yeah, I actually think it has certain pretty interesting elements to it. It has a clear melodic motif (D# B C#) and what makes it interesting is that when the three-note motif is repeated, it starts on the off-beat. It's also quite logical, since you have two repeats of the three-note motif and on the third time it almost starts again but ends differently. The shape of the melody actually works quite well. A much worse melody would be either much more repetitive or it would have no repetition at all, and it would also either have a much less interesting rhythm (for example just quarter notes all the time) or the rhythm would just be nonsensical.

Mr. Rob, absolutely love your content! I just found you believe it or not two weeks ago and have absolutely loved everything that I’ve watched thus far. I found my father after 44 years (what an amazing story actually) and decided to follow his footsteps and play the guitar. I’ve only been playing a short time but love to make noise! You are inspirational and such a talented, respectful, and creative person. I really admire your skills, eagerness to learn and most of all, educate. If by chance you ever read this... Just thank you, sincerely, you rock!

The Van Vlear's version sounds like something out of Disney's Ratatouille. Very cool.

3:54, NO KARATE IN THE PIT

Such a fun and uplifting video! Just blows my mind how many talented musicians are out there and warms my heart to see you helping and uplifting the community

Thank you so much Rob for the shoutout and the strings! This was truly awesome!

The sheer amount of talent is amazing! I may not have won, but it sure was a lot of fun participating. Great job everyone!

It's great how the winner brought to life the original derpy feel of the melody.

You're such a great person,Rob. Your passion for the music gave me chill bumps.

Awesome concept and awesome video. Thank you!

You are such an inspirational musician! Messing around with this melody right now

So this was amazing to be part of. I didn't win, didn't get showcased...but I'm part of it. I'm part of 506 other musicians to be inspired by you Mr. Scallon. I will take this as a learning experience and the next contest you put out I will do better, then better the one after that and maybe...just maybe, I'll win one of these times. I would say I watched almost all 506 over the last month and I have never been more blown away by the power of the internet and the power of music to connect total strangers. Some of you are so insanely talented and you should be proud of what you made. Every one of you! You are spectacular, Rob. Thanks for this man. Thank everyone for this.

God damn, we're so happy to have competed with such an awesome community. The amount of creativity is amazing. Cheers to all!

Amazing! Huge range of styles! Loved Leo Aram Downs, but Andrew's Django version was a worthy winner too. Great contest idea too!

Rob has one of the best channels around! Great videos!

Was hoping my bro sinkingzero08 would win, but it was a well deserving winner! So many awesome entries! This whole thing was super fun to follow and Rob is the man!

I did not made it to the thumbnails but man, those are really talented musicians, it was fun, Kudos and Congratulations to the winners!

This is such a cool, positive video. And the submissions are awesome!

This is great! 🤘🏻 it's crazy how one melody can create so many different styles and approaches

thanks for the contest Rob, I gave it a shot and had a lot of fun doing it !!!!

That last one was pure video game tutorial.

See, this is exactly the kind of joy that makes the internet a better place!

The last two were the only two to bring mostly different chord progressions. Because of that, they get the most props from me. Everyone else did variations on Rob's songs. I like last runner up most, but I agree that the winner deserved to win due to sheer creativity and polish.

This melody still swims its way into my head. Excellent work from everyone here

Is it actually possible to write a terrible melody? I believe, pretty much anything can have a right context in which it works perfectly, and this just proves it.
