Say your solo's tonal center is C (the "home chord" is C... it sounds resolved when it hits the C chord). Well, pick a C mode that fits your mood best. Do you want an evil sounding solo? Go for C Locrian. A bit of spanish? Tr C Phyrgian. Joy to the world, happy, happy sound? C Ionian. A little jazzy feel, C Dorian. You get my point. Try different modes using the same tonal center.
