Next, choose one idea from the video and discuss how you have come to understand that idea on a higher level. 

Mr. Overly touches on rhythm, tempo, keys, seventh chords, and the structure of the 12-bar blues. Also, discuss which songs you know that use that idea or that chord progression. Post a link to the song to support your point.
