Learning Funk Keyboard

Does anyone know of any good Funk Keyboard Lesson sites. I want to catch my Keyboard playing up to my guitar playing.

Thanks

Most of them are dedicated to jazz playing, and sight-reading is pretty much a pre-requisite. (which sucks if you're self-taught like me).

But, here's some sites i found when I was trying to get self taught. ("Piano In a Flash!" is the book I finally bought and it totally schooled me on the important aspects without the need to read)

Thanks for answering my post. I will check out the sites. Do you know how to play any early prince on the Keys like Head and let's work? I can play slow songs but struggle with funky keyboard hits. Sometimes it hard to even find a patch that sounds close.

Learn congas. That's my tip to playing keys like Prince - it's a lot of left-right hand switchup stuff. Hard to explain. No, I don't know how to play ANY Prince stuff on keys...
