Most funk is based on the "blues" scale (that's MOST, not all). C blues is thus: C Eb F Gb G Bb C You can transpose that to any key, using this pattern of half steps to build: 3, 2, 1, 1, 3, 2. So another example would be: F Ab Bb Cb C Eb F The fourth note of the scale can be notated one of two ways. F# in the first, or just B in the second. Depends on how anal you want to be about notation, which I assume you wouldn't want to be anal about at all. Hope that helps. b ===== Brian J.
