Radioactive

"Radioactive" by Imagine Dragons is the lead single from their 2012 debut studio album Night Visions. The track blends electronic rock, alternative rock, and dubstep elements into a heavy, riff-driven sound that translates well to electric guitar. Its distinctive power chord progressions and driving rhythm parts make it a practical and rewarding song for intermediate guitarists looking to explore modern rock techniques.

  • The song features a heavy, down-tuned guitar riff that sits well on electric guitar with moderate gain or distortion settings.
  • "Radioactive" appeared on Imagine Dragons' major-label debut EP Continued Silence before being included on Night Visions.
  • Its dubstep-influenced production means guitarists can creatively interpret synth and electronic parts as additional guitar layers.

Fender Telecaster

Wayne Sermon's primary instrument for Imagine Dragons, the Telecaster's bright single-coil pickups and natural clarity enable his precise palm-muting technique and aggressive downpicking to cut through without heavy effects. The high-output bridge pickup paired with increased action prevents buzz during the band's clean-to-slightly-overdriven tones, making every picking articulation audible.
