First Funk Song, need some help Options

[ElHombre]

Hi guys

while on vacation I got a melody in my head that I actually remebered for once.
I recorded myself singing it + the rythm I came up with.

Well I have never really done a song in this style.
So It would be great if someone could help me. An instructor or gmc member who knows this style!

I would need some help with chords that should be used, I guess standard minor/major chords wont do the trick.
Also what scales are commonly used in this style?

Well this questions could be answered in this thread.

But I would like some help and guidance trough out the song so to speak. If an instructor wants to help me maybe it could be a part of the mentor program.
I will probably record my ideas today

Thank you!
I dont know if you can call it 100 % funk.
But the basic chord idea had a kind of nice groove but I had to change the idea a bit



Also I will play in the Key of A, using a A minor scale.
I think I will use three chords for the beginning progression, which ones would you reccomend?

EDIT: sorry, I am using A mixolydian of course
