Notes

Studio recording, 2012-2013. All sources confirm the use of the Gibson LG-2 American Eagle acoustic with L.R. Baggs M1 pickup for Imagine Dragons' 'Demons' riff section. No reliable information on the exact amp used in the studio. No evidence of electric guitar for the main riff; electric only appears briefly later in the song.

Difficulty

The main riff is based on straightforward acoustic strumming with open chords and requires consistent rhythm and dynamic control, but no advanced techniques.
