I think I understand what you're attempting to convey but perhaps a quick primer on playing "modaly" might prove beneficial. Lets start with the old standby, namely the well known and much overplayed D Dorian. Cool sound if you happen to be Carlos or any number of others but there's much more to it than meets the eye.
Mainly the associated chord construction for each scale degree.
One " on the spot " solution that puts it in the pocket is vamping with chords built in 4th's. These voicings are at once modern enough to add a hot horseradish to the mix and make for killer sequences that can pick up a solo right to (and way over) the top.
Try building 4 note chords in fourths( always being careful with the B string) and work them to the second, third, fourth, flat fifth. and V7 degrees etc.
The tonalities resulting from the use of Quatral harmony suddenly seem free of the inherent restrictions of playing everything with the more common thirds approuch that everybody and their brothers band uses.
Not to say playing thirds isn't sweet sounding but the judiciuos use of 4ths might add a super cool device/sound to your bag of tricks.
And, it makes your ear tuning process take a step forward in a hurry.
Remember even with advanced acceleration concepts the only thing left standing at the end is the sound you produce. Knowing what the intended sounds actually sound like is key to everything so listen, and play, out of the box.
Hope this helps somewhat. Play with everything you got and when that ain't enough, get some more!!
