Hi! there, Once again with a question,

Just I went through the scales in the internet & saw there are many different types of scales using a root note, sounds pretty different, creates different mode, and some have 7 notes, some have 5 notes unlike major and minor scales.

I thought that there is only major, minor & pentatonic scales but there are other scales like lonian, dorian, phrygian, mixolydian, lydian, etc...

Q 1. Can we use these different types of scales to play chords based on 1 3 5 note theory in a scale ?

Q 2. Will it suit for playing any songs?

Q 3. Do each scales generate different mode for the song??

Q 4. Do each of these scales used specifically to express feel/mode of music or can be used normally in any circumstances
