Sure.

One more thing before them...don't forget the minor scale (specifically, the ascending melodic minor - jazz minor).

C D Eb F G A B

Modes are as follows:

i - minor-major - Cmin-maj7 (minor third, major seventh)
ii - dorian b2 - Dmin7(b9)
III - lydian augmented - EbMaj7(#5)
IV - lydian dominant - F7(#11)
V - mixolydian b6 - G7(b6)
vi - locrian #2 - Ař7
vii - altered - B7alt

Again, you have the same chord/scale relationships with their corresponding modes. There's also modes of the harmonic minor scale, but they are rare and would usually be specified by the composer.

....

Later today, I'll get into synthetic and more advanced scales.

Cool?!
