No - in fact, I think it would almost be better if you weren't familiar with them - less to "un-do" as you learn the PT principles. Kirk teaches you how to get away from scales and modes and not be "boxed in" like that.

Before I got PT, I knew the minor pentatonic and major scales - that was it. None of that Ionian, Draconian, Philharmonian, All-alonian stuff. It gives me a headache to even look at all those modes.
