Hi,
I'm trying to make a modes tutorial, and hoped that you could take a look and offer an opinion.
It's also a three forms for all scales approach that I am using.
This is just a preliminary with no sound, but here goes.
I'd really appreciate your feedback.
Thank you.
Jim

Sorry, cannot view the link it's incomplete?
neither me!
Looking forward to it
As a tutorial, it needs to contain more concise statements, rather than rambling. I'd note down the points you want to make, and write-out smaller points below that (or even type-out your entire dialogue beforehand).
As a question, I'd say if it works for you, that's great. If you're searching for easier options, personally, I'd train my ear to be able to recognise each mode - to be able to pick out their signature combination of intervals.
If you know the intervals, you can learn what they look like on the fretboard, and through exercises, you can become faster at forming those modes.

However, certain situations, such as playing modes at speed, won't allow you enough time to figure the notes out. I'd take it slowly and burn the modes into memory through ear training and small runs, moving to progressively larger runs. There's no rush.
In my opinion, I've gone through many of these combos myself, and I think you are giving yourself a longer route, and overcomplicating things. It could be that your photographic memory and intelligence is more advanced and you are looking for ways to find meaning in patterns. That's fine. But in simple terms:
- learn the complete diatonic pattern
- practice the modes over chords to get to know how they sound and feel instead of look
