Well i quit my guitar lessons about 2 months ago, and i wanted to exercise my modes more. For Lydian and Mixolydian, since they are 7th chords, those are the ones i want to exercise. But i dont know a lot of 7th chords, can you show me some. And if there other ways to exercise the modes please do tell!
 
Well, I'm sure there's plenty places where you could find 7th chords. Here's what I could think of. (In E)

EADGBE

020100

0X2434

079797

076750

As far as modes go, a good place to start with Mixolydian is this:

e-
b-
g-
d- -----------2-3-5 <-- G Mixolydian
a- ----2-3-5-------
e- 3-5-------------

Use that over a standard blues progression like this:

G7/ G7/ C7/ C7/
G7/ G7/ G7/ G7/
C7/ C7/ C7/ C7/
G7/ G7/ G7/ G7/
D7/ D7/ C7/ C7/
G7/ G7/ D7/ D7/

Stuff like this makes Scales and Modes much more fun.
