         Following scales will be cover´ed: A minor,A major,A harmonic minor,
         And A phrygian-dominant.The modes cover´ed are:A dorian,
         A mixolydian,A lydian,A phrygian,A locrian,A ionian and A aeollian.



              First here is the A major scale(also known as the ionian mode):

             |---------------------------------------------4--5--------|
             |---------------------------------------5--7--------------|
             |-----------------------------4--6--7---------------------|
             |-------------------4--6--7-------------------------------|
             |---------4--5--7-----------------------------------------|
             |--5--7---------------------------------------------------|

    
              Here is the A minor scale(also known as the aeolian mode):
                          
             |-------------------------------------------------5--7--8--|
             |---------------------------------------5--6--8------------|
             |--------------------------------5--7----------------------|
             |----------------------5--7--9-----------------------------|
             |------------5--7--8---------------------------------------|
             |--5--7--8-------------------------------------------------|


              Here you see the A harmonic minor scale:


             |---------------------------------------------4--5--7--8---|
             |---------------------------------------5--6---------------|
             |-----------------------------4--5--7----------------------|
             |----------------------6--7--------------------------------|
             |------------5--7--8---------------------------------------|
             |--5--7--8-------------------------------------------------|


              This is the A dorian mode:


             |------------------------------------------------5--7--8----|
             |--------------------------------------5--7--8--------------|                       
             |----------------------------4--5--7------------------------|
             |------------------4--5--7----------------------------------|
             |------------5--7-------------------------------------------|
             |--5--7--8--------------------------------------------------|


             The killer mode of the A phrygian:



           |------------------------------------------------5--6--8-----|
           |--------------------------------------5--6--8---------------|
           |--------------------------------5--7------------------------|
           |----------------------5--7--8-------------------------------|
           |------------5--7--8-----------------------------------------|
           |--5--6--8---------------------------------------------------|


            The killer scale A phrygian-dominant:


           |-------------------------------------------------5--6--9----|
           |---------------------------------------5--6--8--------------|
           |--------------------------------6--7------------------------|
           |----------------------5--7--8-------------------------------|  
           |---------4--5--7--8-----------------------------------------|  
           |--5--6------------------------------------------------------|
                         

          Here is the A lydian mode:


          |----------------------------------------------4--5--7--------|
          |------------------------------------4--5--7------------------|                     
          |-----------------------------4--6----------------------------|
          |-------------------4--6--7-----------------------------------|
          |---------4--6--7---------------------------------------------|
          |--5--7-------------------------------------------------------|


          The A mixolydian mode:


         |-----------------------------------------------------7--9--10--|
         |------------------------------------------7--8--10-------------|
         |--------------------------------6--7--9------------------------|
         |----------------------5--7--9----------------------------------|
         |------------5--7--9--------------------------------------------|
         |--5--7--9------------------------------------------------------|


          Here is the final mode A locrian:


         |-------------------------------------------------5--6--8-------|
         |------------------------------------------6--8-----------------|
         |--------------------------------5--7--8------------------------|
         |----------------------5--7--8----------------------------------|
         |------------5--6--8--------------------------------------------|
         |--5--6--8------------------------------------------------------|





Well that´s all i think.Remember to practice these scales and modes in all keys.
Good luck with your scale and mode studies.
