I don't believe we have had a good discussion on the use of modes.
I know I used modes for a long time without realizing what it was. Using the modes over a major scale to create harmony or to add an emotional feeling just came naturally. But I must admit, I'm no theory expert so I can't explain their use.
Perhaps we have some experts among us?

Whatever learning issue I've had my whole life makes that look impossible to comprehend. I do probably use a lot of it, in a very gut sort of way. Monkey hear monkey do. But to stop and analyze how I play at this point doesn't seem like a necessary thing.

When you boil it all down, it's all about notes that fit melodically with other notes. Learning all of the scales, including the chromatic, teaches us what notes are available in any given key. Modes to me are just a way of naming the ones that fit together.
I learned guitar like most in my generation, by ear and picking up on more experienced player's knowledge by observation.
