Ready for some semi-vintage Robert Pattinson hotness? HollywoodLife.com‘s friends at Hahajk got their hands on a never-before-seen video of Rob playing the guitar on Sept. 16, 2012 — and he clearly has major musical chemistry with fellow musician Andrea Meli, who’s seen singing “Jolene” in the video as Rob strums along.
