Being that there's no set order to Parallel Modes, I like to occasionally put them in order from Bright to the darker sounding Modes.
Using G as the Root, starting with Lydian.
Lydian == G----A----B----C#----D----E----F#
Ionian == G----A----B----C-----D----E----F#
Mixo---== G----A----B----C-----D----E----F
Dorian ===G----A----Bb---C-----D----E----F
Aeolian--= G----A----Bb---C-----D---Eb----F
Phrygian = G----Ab---Bb---C-----D---Eb----F
Locrian--= G----Ab---Bb---C-----Db--Eb----F
In this order, each mode only changes by one Interval from the previous mode. It's interesting to note that the only difference between G Phrygian and G Locrian is Db (b5th interval).
Memorizing patterns and the notes are beneficial, but to really play modes skillfully, the understanding in Interval Function is essential..
