          Ya guys…working on it now so will start posting the lessons soon.
          I got the mp3 of the original up on the lesson page for reference and also a backing track of the Shotgun groove for us to practice to.

            I have the music in the Key of Bb, Most of the music is in the upper range, not the altissimo, just the upper range and the music sounds bluesy

              I said, Shotgun!

              Do the dirty now
              Hey

              I said, Buy yourself a shotgun now
              We’re going to break it down baby now
              We’re going to load it up baby now
              Oh can you shoot ’em ‘fore they run now

              I said, Shotgun!
              Shoot ’em ‘fore they run now
              Do the jerk, baby
              Do the dirty now
              Hey

              Shotgun!
              Shoot ’em ‘fore they run now

              I said, Shotgun!
              Shoot ’em ‘fore they run now
              Do the jerk, baby
              Do the dirty now
              Hey

                    Hello all ..

                    I seem to recall hearing or reading that JUNIOR WALKER was performing at a club and noticed that people were doing a new dance that they were calling “The Shotgun”. So Junior decided to write a song about it .. and presumably one that people could do the dance to too!!
                    Consequently the song also mentions other popular dances of the day such as “The Jerk”, “The Pony” .. and .. right on the end .. “The Twine”.
