Yeah exercise in general can be a bit boring, and now you have the 7 positions for modes that you have to learn. It can be a bit overwhelming and you cannot see the progress atm, but just keep on practicing them. Results will come when you least expect them. Don't worry too much cause you can't implement the exercises now in your playing, take your time and do modes step by step systematically. You won't regret later as you start feel a lot more confident in your playing.
When doing modes try to do chords in parallel, every mode builds one chord. Ionian - Im7 Dorian - IIm7 Phrygian - IIIm7 Lydian - IVmaj7 Mixolydian - V7 Aeolian - VIm7 Locrian - VIIm7b5 (or VII dim) Start making some simple progressions like: I - IV II - III - VI II - V - I and just play the modes you have learned on top of the corresponding chord, like this: I - IV Ionian - Lydian II - III - VI Dorian - Phrygian - Aeolian II - V - I Dorian - Mixolydian - Ionian these simple exercises will enable you to implement modes in you playing in a good effective way, and you will practice harmony behind the modes as well while doing these chords. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

Hey mate, I forgot to tell you that if you are interested in some details about modes, and haven't checked out theory lessons here on GMC - now would be a good time to do so: Here is some basic mode theory divided into lesson 1 and lesson 2. Here is a useful article about 3 note per string patterns that you can practice modes with. And here's the list of the all theory articles, if you wanna check them out and do some light reading. Hope this helps a bit, cheers -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

Should we learn and practice all the different modes or should we get a complete understanding of the major and minor scales and then learn how the modes differ from the major and minor scales. There are only 7 modes mate and major and minor are one of them. You should tend to learn all of them equally well IMO, but as Pedja said more focus on major and minor is cool as well because they are the in most common uses. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE
