Moves Like Jagger Audio ⇒
Complementing the whistle is a funky, clean electric guitar riff. Unlike the distorted, heavy guitars of rock or the buried guitars of early 2010s EDM, the guitar in "Moves Like Jagger" is crisp and rhythmic. It sits right in the pocket of the beat, adding a "funk" texture that gives the song its groove. This guitar work bridges the gap between the band's pop-rock roots and their new dance-pop direction.
