Changing Root Note of Mode?

Ok, i was determined to learn these modes again so i pulled out my modes sheet again of the fingerings and i read somewhere that the 1st note is the root note determining what scale, or key, whatever u wanna call it is, like D Dorian or w/e. U can move these modes up and down the fingerboard right? So the root note determines if its A Dorian, B Dorian, ect..? So its possible to change the scale thing by moving it to the correct note on the low e string? Does that make any sense?

Could you be more specific? I can sort of see what your getting at, but I just need it to be more specific.

Modes are a really simple concept which a lot of people get really hung up on (including myself at one point). Eventually it just clicks.

Yeah, it's been explained. She basically meant, "Can you play the same mode with a different root?" For example, can you play A dorian instead of D dorian. The answer, of course, is "yes."
