Table above demonstrate the Major of all scale - The C Minor Scale - All other scales and modes are created from this special scale.
By adding sharps or flats to this scale, and by the key (Root or tonic note) will define the name and type of scales or modes you are playing.

Look at the Mother of all scale - The C Minor.  C   D   E   F   G   A   B  
There are 7 notes or tones. Therefore, there are 7 Major Modes.

I will explain and walk you through step by step in details how to learn scales, modes arpeggios and chords as they are all relate and create from:
The Special Scale: The C Minor Scale.

There is a Half Step between B & C and E & F

Intermediate level players, should spend time to learn Exotic and Foreign Scale types.

 

  This table is for References - help guiding you as everything is base on the Mother of all Scale - The C Minor Scale

This is how I learn --- I refer to the FORMULA in case of confuse or not sure --- After a while you get a hang of it.

Start with the key you like. For example you like to play a C Gypsy Scale.

1. Write down the C on colum 1st - as this is the tonic or root note.
2. Continue write down next note all the way to the 7th. 
3. Start from the Root or Tonic follow the Formula - you may need to apply sharp or flat to certain steps base on the Formula.  

I used color coded to explain and make it easy to see as I try to explain the logic of the lessons.

All scales created or generated from the mother of all scale. The C Major scale. 
1. By apply sharps or flats to the specific step
2. Base on the Root and formula (where are the half step) - You can tell "what key and mode you are playing".

I will upload correct videos for above videos as soon as I get a chance - I work by myself.
Set the tempo at the most comfortable speed which you will not make error.
If you are making errors as you drill with the live traning - You are going too fast.
Try to play each individual pattern at least 5 times with out stopping.

You just learn the 12 keys tone system of the Oriental Scale.
You should come back in the future to review this lesson just to re-enforce your memory in case you forget as if you do not use them so often.
