Here are some examples (shamelessly adapted from Bruce Arnold, the Berkelee guitar instructor) of minor blues progressions, funk-style.  I would recommend putting the rhythms into some notation software (GuitarPro, PowerTab, Finale, Sibelius, etc) and play it back so that you get a sense of how to make the accents.  Or, buy Bruce Arnold's book on the subject of funk accompaniments - it comes with an audio CD with backing tracks.

Flat keys are always the most difficult to learn, especially in minor.....

These are some of the many from Bruce Arnold's Comping Styles part 2: Funk.  I think it's out of print now.  In fact, I've been noticing lots of good guitar books are going out of print... I'm glad I got them back when they were circulated.
