All the notes below are the scale of C played in different positions on the guitar neck.
 
To play any mode in C (for example, soloing in a certain mode over the chord of C), play the
mode shape shown below but move the whole shape to start with the note C, 8th fret.
 
To play C Dorian rather than the D Dorian shown, play the Dorian shape below,
but move the whole shape to start with the note C, 8th fret, rather than the note D, 10th fret.
 
To play C Phrygian, play the Phrygian scale shape below but start with the note C, 8th fret, etc etc...
 
This works for all the shapes, so if somebody is strumming the chord of A and wants you to solo
in A Lydian mode over this, play the Lydian mode shape shown below, but move it to start with
the note A, 5th fret or 17th fret.
 
If somebody is strumming the an F chord and wants you to solo in the Locrian mode over this,
play the Locrian shape as shown below, but start with the F note on the 1st or 11th fret.
If they the move to the Bb chord, stick to the same Locrian mode shape, but move the whole shape to
start with a Bb, 6th fret.
 
 
 
C Ionian, allternative picking.
