David Walliman created a great lesson that shows all the modes on a single backing track, all with the same root - its a really great way to understand the different modes and how they sound, it really helped me.
https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/solo-guit...ring-the-modes/ It is just a couple of chords for each mode however - finding larger progressions to match all the modes is difficult, as they will be different for each mode. One way to tackle this would be to pick a root, and write out the chords for each mode and pick some common ones that would match a couple of different modes. The key of course is to keep the same root and avoid relative modes as they will share exactly the same chords. Having said that - it is really difficult to separate chords and the notes in a modal context. Picking chords common to more than one mode would tend to mask the distinctiveness of the mode itself, and would also be harder to play to - picking distinctive chord changes for each mode is very important in cementing the sound of the mode - this is what David does in his lesson but is actually the opposite of what you are asking for!

The modes of C major for Matt's above example.
C ionian (major) F lydian B locrian E phrygian A aeolian D dorian G mixo-lydian C ionian Yes, they all contain the same notes (C major scale). The order of the changes are what we call the circle of 4ths. -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

Yeah, each chord is from the C major scale, so you can use the modes that Klassaine listed above.
