If it helps, I find it much more perceptually & conceptually efficient to view & think of the diatonic notes as scale degrees with certain sounds rather than parallel modes, or borrowed from other scales or CAGED shapes.

So I'll use the minor pentatonic box. And if I want to play Dorian, I just see, play & hear the major 6th one fret behind every minor 7th scale degree. Then I'll see, play & hear the 2nd one fret behind every minor 3rd.

Make sense?

Hope this helps!


I haven't touch the subject of improvising, I'l take note of this. Provide a link to this subject of "play and hear" technique.
