it sometimes.  It's loose, so just whack on it.  As obscene as that may sound.

Main Rhythm (00:06)
[This is a little odd; it needs to be played around with quite a bit.  There's
quite a bit of scratching and slide improvisation on the lower strings, and he
always treats the Eb ending a little differently every time.  Brock also leaves
out the A note of that same chord most of the time, but plays it sometimes..
like the bend I've shown there at the end.  So I just put the note in parenthesis
to show that sometimes it's there and sometimes it ain't.  You'll need to feel it
out for yourself.  Needless to say, you'll have to listen to this bit to get it
right, it's nigh impossible to tab it all out correctly.  It's supposed to be fun.
So.. y'know.. have fun with it.]

someone wants to fix this up real nice, please do so.]
