This is the basis for my practicing the modes tutorial. All the modes, practiced against a static chord. Lots of comparision and contrast. Learn the sound quality of each individual modes, associate the scale intervals with the pattern on the fretboard and with the sound of the mode. Know which mode to use when you desire certain specific sounds.
