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.
