Pull up some Larry Coryell vids on youtube. If I had to name one master of modes it would be him. What you hear when you listen to him are short riffs that at first don't sound like they should work together. But they do.
Music theory can be a 4 year degree so my suggestion is at this stage of your guitar playing, ignore it all. Let your ear decide what sounds good.

appreciated.
i certainly don't want to get bogged down in theory. but i've been told and have read that fully learning and practicing scales and continuing to do both, is very important, would you agree with this?
i do feel like my fret work is better as a result.
