I know C, C#/Db, D, Eb, E, F, F#/Gb, G, Ab, A, Bb, and B in major, natural minor, harmonic minor, melodic minor, and pentatonic.  I'm not so good at the different modes (lydian, mixalydian, etc.) because I keep forgetting the intervals involved.  Why, how many do YOU know?

It's actually not hard to remember the mode intervals.

1 - Ionian
2 - Dorian
3 - Phrygian
4 - Lydian
5 - Mixolydian
6 - Aeolian
7 - Locrian

The major modes are 1, 4, and 5. The rest are minor.
