Hi fatb0t.
Yeah, you can experiment a lot with notes that are flavor for certain modes, #4th for Lydian,b2nd for Phrygian etc. Play single note which is root E in your example and add notes one by one. Actually,Joe Satriani has few tunes based on same idea, different modes played on same root note, both riffing and soloing, tunes like Not Of This Earth,Lords Of Karma etc. -------------------- Youtube

Some nice questions Caelumamittendum.
Those are flavor/emphasis notes you mentioned but they do not mean a lot if you play only them. I'll try to explain it tho. Lets say we play flat 7th interval only, it could me minor scale as well. But if we just touch major 3rd then we have Mixolydian mode and we can hear it. Same thing with sharp 4th interval, it can be piece of Dorian #4 which is 4th mode starting with Harmonic Minor. But if the throw major 3rd then we can hear Lydian mode. So as you can see all of these modes have emphasis notes but they are always kind a compared with major or minor scale. That's why I like to say that there are major and minor modes, only difference is usually just in one note compared to major or minor scale. -------------------- Youtube
