Wes using Maj9 arpeggios
Maj9 arpeggios can be used over a min7 chord to extend its sound with the ninth and the eleventh.
For example, on a Cm7 chord (C Eb G Bb) you can play a Eb Maj9 arpeggio (Eb G Bb D F).
Here a beautiful excerpt of Wes Montgomery playing Nica's Dream using a Db Maj9 arpeggio over a Bb min7 chord and a B Maj9 arpeggio over a Ab min7 chord.

Triad Pairs inside scales shapes
Triad pairs are a good way to play a scale, in your improvised lines, without just running up and down that scale. Triad pairs give a very fresh and modern flavor to your lines.
Here major triad pairs contained inside the major scale (or its modes!), play them by alternating phrases in a call-answer way.
Play, for example, 3 notes of the first triad (or 2 or 4 as you like) ad then proceed with 3 notes of the second triad and again other 3 notes of the first and so on.

“I came from the last couple of years in a generation where we didn’t have a computer around... so we didn’t waste as much time on the internet as we do now... so I had large chunks of time which to devote to doing something.” - John Mayer
The thing is, the Internet is also a perfect source for learning things, playing the guitar (or maybe singing) in this case. I think it is up to us to manage what we do with it and with our time.

The Whole Tone scale
Among symmetrical scales, the whole tone is one of the favorite jazz musician's choice to obtain an altered non-diatonic sound.
If we stack these scale degrees to create a chord, we get 1, 3, #5, b7, 9, #11. So, the whole tone scale can be played over a dominant 7th or 9th chord with a sharp five and sharp eleven. You can also use it over other types of chords or bass pedals to create an interesting in-out effect.
Here some of the most common and convenient ways to visualize the scale on the fretboard.

Modes & chord shapes
The practical and most effective way to learn, understand and use modes is associating them to the chords (and inversions) they are related to, along the whole fretboard. And notice: each of the five shapes can be every one of the seven modes, depending where we place the root inside it!
