I hate getting into the theory stuff becuase it is allot like politics.

You say "too--mae--toe" I say "to-mah-toe".

But what the hey!!! I am in a funky mood today.

Music T is like algebra/calculus. It is a theory based system that "explains" what and why things shoudl/do happen in music (centuries old, like philosophy... and still subject to debate).

Bottom line-- Modes are based upon the tones and relation to the notes played in/on a particular scale in a particular key in a particular order utilizing the same key signature.
See how x=y ( abc) X 4 blah de blah de blah.

Example

C Major Scale-Here is each mode listed

C D E F G A B C

D E F G A B C D

E F G A B C D E

F G A B C D E F

G A B C D E F G

A B C D E F G A

B C D E F G A B

back to C

So what this means is that as long as you are playing in a given key (we will say C major to keep in line with what I have already posted) and the Chord progression "follows" the rules of Music Theory and stays in the key of C. Any of the scales above will/should work (theoretically) -- note (please do not split hairs) -- except for certain notes that do not fit the diatonic pattern. More "Greek" I am sure.

If you would like, PM me and I will tab some "Box" patterns for you to practice on. And all the "greek" names for the modes.

To answer your question -- Yes, there is a certain pattern for the theory behind modes. No there is not a "set" fingering for each mode (agian--No splitting hairs-- guitar playing can be based upon patterns of fingering but when it comes to music--What sounds good should be good-- look up "Dodecophonic" composing to see what I mean.)

Off my soap box now:)
