What I need to work out is what ties everything in, I feel there's something I'm missing still at the moment
I learned them just by playing a major scale and starting on The next note, and rembering the mnemonic I Don’t Particulalry Like Modes A Lot - can’t remember where I got that from, probably here.
but I Play them by knowing (presumabky from a lot of repetition over time) what the individual altered intervals are , and they are only 3rd , 6th and 7th. I always know where my 3rd is, where my 4th and 5th are, and flat 7th because they are where my fingers fall from my index finger (admittedly top 3 strings are slightly different because of the B string not being a 4th above G)

If I'm playing C Myxolidian, I just tell myself to play the chords and scale of F major but then find some way to emphasize the Bb-C so that the F itself doesn't dominate. So like, C Mixolydian is just a decentered F major, and C Lydian is just a decentered G major, etc etc.
I'm probably oversimplifying things for the sake of my own mental clarity, and I'm only just beginning the process of self-consciously noodling with these things in mind in order to capture an intentional mood and feeling. But so far I think that my "decentered" theme has helped me distill the patterns from what looks like fretboard chaos at first glance.
