Update: 15/10/14

        Sylosis' Josh Middleton released a video lesson for Mercy and I was quite pleased
        that I barely had to alter anything. Changes include the Rhythm in the pre-chorus
        , the third intro chord and power-chord gallops in verse 2.

        Here is a link to the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SOtk1fhUZ4
