Here's a quick tab on Imagine Dragons amazaing new song, Believer.
It's really simple, so it shouldn't be hard to follow.
The main acoustic riff repeats through literally the entire song.

Slight distortion and delay effects.
It also sounds like another guitar is strumming these as chords in the background.

Sounds like a keyboard maybe but could also be an electric with delay.
The 13 and 14 sound like they could be very slightly alternatively picked.

if you play these as chords, put a little more emphasis into it and add some more distortion.
