What scales are used in funk?
Funk is an evolution/combination of jazz and rock, essentially. It's thus going to be based on the scales used in these two. Major, Mixolydian and Dorian are used, just as they are in rock. The pentatonic blues scale probably figures in there, as all rock is based on the blues.Jul 14, 2011
