Steemit Puzzle Club: The Rhythm Grid (Music Theme) – Weekly Challenge #1

So I think we can all agree that Steemit Word Search of the Day wasn't a winner with no one even attempting to solve it after the decoy idea was installed (which I thought was a golden idea @steemcurator02). While that stinks, I've decided to take another run at it from a different direction, just one time a week this go-around. And since this is the first week, and the prize pool is incentivized more towards next week, I've decided to give everyone who actually attempts to give a valid response 5 @steembasicincome tokens. So keep that in mind when you see the instructions below and learn the prize pool for this. Also, the bonus puzzles/games come with secret bonuses, but are only available to those who respond first.
