Thanks Jarkko and Christopher. I studied Modes Across the Fretboard as well as first 6 of the 24 in the Practicing Major Scale Modes. I think I'm trying to go from 8th grade to college here as it is a bit above my musical knowledge, but small light bulbs are flashing. I've been trying to understand modes for a while now, and it's tough but these tutorials really helped further my understanding.
