There are countless forums that go on and on and on about modes, _ts_, I suggest you head off there, but before you go, how about thinking about MELODY. If all you want to do is play modes, simply learn them! Play them! That's just a matter of memorizing, which is easy. I can't understand what the problem is. Learn them, play them, listen to them and see/hear for yourself what you like or don't like.
I listened to Joe Satriani in a video go on and on about modes, then listened to some of his music (I'm not awfully familiar with his playing) ... guess what his melodies consisted of: Chord tones ... and they were beautiful melodies. That's because melody loves chord tones.
