It would be a hell of a lot easier than having to look up Lochrian or whatever the hell the mode is called and would really help beginners to demystify the whole concept of theory. Click the root note that you want to start your solo on or whatever and the scale positions for that mode turn blue or orange - you can still see the rest of the fretboard which would have the notes for the key highlighted. Hard to explain plus I can't explain theory even though I understand it in my own way... hope that makes sense!
