Notes

Studio recording, 2021-2022, riff section of 'Bones' by Imagine Dragons. Gear inferred from Equipboard listing for Imagine Dragons and Wayne Sermon's typical studio setup. No direct confirmation for this specific song, but Jazzmaster and Matchless are most consistently cited for studio work in this era.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, percussive picking and rhythmic accuracy, but does not involve advanced lead techniques or complex chord voicings.
