Ready kings wash out in the key of G starts out with this lick, played over the first position, G bar chord. All we're doing there is replaying over that part chord, three, four or five on the fifth string, oh, and then to the third fret of the sixth string, which is our G. Like that. And then to double stop, second and third strings at the fifth fret, and then at the third fret with a little bit of a band and to get that sound that you hear on the recording with a little, little band, little sass to it. So the whole lick goes like this. You just played that four times at the beginning. Now he's going to go to the floor, which is going to be over the first position C bar chord.
And he's going to play something like this where I'm starting on the 10th fret of the fourth string, and he picks it a couple times delete into it. He's gonna do this double stuff with my first finger on the eighth fret, second and third strings. And I'm going to hammer on my second finger to the ninth fret of the third string, but I'm also gonna pick the open second string 10th fret, second and third strings, or something like that. When I first listened to this song, I thought he went back To that 10th fret of the fourth string something like this. But the more I listened to it, I just think it's like this. Like that.
So he plays the G comes to the C, then right here, he does something a little different the first time around. I have a hard time hearing this clearly, but I think he's going from the 10th fret of the fifth string, an eight 910 on the fourth string leading into it like that. Playing that like again, when you play the double stop there. Then that like here, you can do the twirl. Kind of hammer on pull off or you can just play this and I think when he gets ready to go back to the G or the one he does this slides back down. So let's play what we have so far the first first, then we go back to the one the G, same thing.
Then when the song gets ready to go to the D or the five, we're just gonna go over the first position D barre chord. And we're gonna do this with the 12th fret of the fourth string leaning in. And we're playing that same double stuff that we did over the C over the D. Like that. And then we're gonna move it to the C like this And then we're going back over the one. Right here we have a variation. Instead of doing this, we're gonna walk into that last phrase from the fifth fret of the fifth string, third fret of the fourth, fourth string, fifth fret of the fourth string, like that.
And the verse with that lick, if you listen carefully, it sounds like the band does the turnaround on the song, which would be the D seven. But Freddie King doesn't he just holds this leg and lets the band do the turnaround. And then he comes in on the second verse. Let's play the first verse washout all the way through slowly There we have the first verse of washout
