Hi, my name is Riccardo, I play guitar from 4 years. I'm trying to expand my funk- guitar technique. Does anybody know some blues-funk scale?

Hey Riccardo!
It's very common to just use the regular Blues scale or the Mixolydian scale in funk. I attached a tab of those scales in A. They sound great if you play over a funk groove with an A9 or an A7 chord.
The hard part is of course to make it sound funky. Don't just use one of those scales - you can mix them up so they sound less like scales, and more like music!
