Just play. Take a diatonic progression and just jam over it.

Play them every way conceivable, but only til you learn the sounds of the notes then like everyone else says, just play music.
Edit: ↑Damn ninjas!

Scales have their place, but also try to use specific notes at specific time- and know why you're doing it. Dont just play random like a NASA space monkey...

With my fingers. Srsly. What is there to know about practicing scales? Attempt to play them cleanly, with relaxed hands. That's it. And like Hail said - punch the guy who told you that in the balls.

I practice the modes in about 10 positions, using a metronome.

S'always good to sing them, in various melodic patterns and intervals to see if you have it truly internalized, and not just relying on muscle memory.

Maybe I missed something since the original TS's post has been edited. But, it was a simple question and I gave a simple reply. Was I supposed to write a thesis on how to incorporate musicality into modal structures? I'm sure even professional players go back to maintenance practice with their metronome.
