I'd like to start experimenting with modes a little. Can anyone give me a link that shows which modes sound good with which chords?
Thanks,
Manimal
Same chords that goes with a scale goes with it's modes , just different order.

Ionian (major scale)- Anything major.
Dorian - ii in a major key, alternative for some minor 7 chords, minor 6 chords, minor 6/9 chords. Often used in jazz.
Phrygian - iii in a major key, alternative for minor 7th chord although dorian is probably better.
Lydian - IV in a major key, alternative for any major chord. Works well over major 7(b5) and major 7(#11) chords.
Mixolydian - V in a major key. Great scale for Dominant 7 chords.
Aeolian (natural minor) - Anything minor.
Locrian - viio in a major key. Minor 7(b5) chords.
