Offspring - Keep Em Separated guitar tab
Okay I tabbed this song only because one of my band(service engine soon)
members loves this song and so he wanted to play it. So I came here
(mxtabs) and looked it up and saw a not so detailed job on tabbing
it out. So that frustrated me a bit so I decided to put up a more
accurate version of this song for everyone here. I hope it helps and
it makes more sense. I do apologize though for not putting in the
order of anything or where it matches up and all. I'm not really a
big offspring fan anymore. I think Bad Habit was as good as it got
(with a few other exceptions). Anyways enjoy the song.

Riff: This that cute "walk like an egyptian" riff that everyone
thinks is the coolest thing and might actually think is extremely hard.
I personally think that bend from B to C and back is very important
for the sake of the sound of this riff.

Verse: It alternates with these 2 chord progressions... of course
all palm muted. This is also played behind the egyptian riff thing
by another guitar.
