A very, very brief example:
Santana's Oye Como Va & Carole King's Its Too Late use
a | Am7 | D7 | progression. We call it the Dorian Mode Progression because of the presence of the F# note in there. It is obvious to anyone who knows the chord tones of each chords.
Am7 = A C E G (1 b3 5 b7 )
D7 = D F# A C ( 1 3 5 b7 )
Starting from A, you'd get A B C D E F# G A ( 1 2 b3 4 5 6 b7 8 ) This is called the Dorian Minor. Give you a jazzy feel to it. If you wanna listen to a hardier/rocker edge to the usage of a Dorian scale, listen to Tonni Ioami from Black Sabbath's Sabbath Bloody Sabbath album from way back when.(1971?)
For jazz, listen to Miles Davis track called "So What?" Best trumpet fusion/jazz lines there is. My personal favorite.
There are lots more Modal scales not listed here. Google is your friend. However, i suggest that you "walk before you run" kinda approach - The Major Scale is everything. Know that and its accompanying chords and you'd be well-served.
Hope this will help you in your pursuit of music excellence....
