well, it is not easy to make those modes sound like they should. You can also use standard progressions:
Amaj Amaj Dmaj Emaj
A Ionian A Ionian D Lydian E Mixolydian
When doing a chord progression in the specific mode to really make it sound like the mode, you wanna pick those strong chords (I,IV,V)
of course you can use slash chords, so you can keep the same mode:
Ionian prog: (all chords are maj)(use A Ionian)
A E/A D/A E/A
Dorian prog:(use A dorian)
G/A D/A C/A D/A
another cool A dorian prog:
Am7 D9
(very Santana-like chord prog)
Phrygian prog: (A phrygian)
C/A F/A Bb/A F/A
Lydian prog (use A Lydian)
A H/A E/A H/A
Mixolydian (wonder what? - A mixolydian)
G/A D/A A A(7)
Aeolian: (A aeolian)
C/A F/A G/A F/A
Locrian: (A locrian)
Bb/A Eb/A F/A Ab/A
These are just some examples, you should record them and then play the modes over the certain progression.
Another idea is the "pitch-axis-system" mostly used by Joe Satriani
He basically uses 1 tonal centre and then just picks out the chords from each mode to form a chord progression. So He stays for example in A, but changes from A mixo to Alydian to A dorian...etc.
So the chords for a tonal centre of A for example:
A Lydian:
Amaj7#11, B/A, Amaj7/13, Amaj9,Chords from the Emajor scale
Aeolian:
Csus4, Fmaj7/A, chords from the Cmajor scale
Locrian:
A0, Bb/A,Eb/A, Gharmonic minor
Mixolydian:
A7,Asus13, Asus, chords from D major
if you use these chords over the specified mode you will see that they will with with their structure and intervals to the structure of the different modes.
Hope i could help
