The Offspring: Conspiracy of One - Track 11 - Denial, Revisited
This was my first tab, but not the first posted :P
Alright... This song was quite easy to tab. This is how I play it,
although there are a few wrong parts.
Legend:
~ - Let ring
/ - Slide up
h - Hammer on
p - Pull off
Standard Tuning (E;A;D;G;B;e)
A few slides around the beginning of the song but I’m not
sure where they are. Here is what I got.

Riff D
This part is played softly in the background. I suggest
you try and listen to the rhythm from the track.

E|-4---6------4---|----------------|----------------|
Riff F (Chorus)
I’m not quite sure of the rhythm in this riff because
of the distortion going on. I just follow what I
originally wrote when working it out.
