Actually, I've been thinking about this and the real question is...How many scales can you use.

Here's a link to the Jazz Handbook on the Jamie Aebersold web-site:

The Scale Syllabus enumerates a large number of scales and the types of chords for which they are used. I actually went through them one day (I was bored) and noted the similarities and realized that they can actually be narrowed down to a few basic scales with minor variations, based on the chord alterations.
There is also a "Dominant 7th Tree of Scale Choices" that gives ideas how the various scales are used with the various alterations of 7th chords.
The page has a lot of other great freebies that can help.

Yes, I agree. It is not the scale, but the application there of. Knowledge you can't use is useless, and there is no need in having it,

I can name all of the keys and play them but it will take me too long to spell them out.
Major: C G D A E B F# C# F Bb Eb Ab Db Gb Cb and all of their inharmonice spellings and whole tone scales
Minor: a e b f# c# d a# d g c f bb eb ab including harmonic, melodic, and natural minor scales

Ok, so where do I use all these scales ?/?
I know I can use the minor harmonic (c) ?/? for songs such as : Our God Is An Awesome God He Reigns.
the major scale 4 95% of the songs.
The blues for some foot-stomping, hand clapping songs..
but what about the other 1s?
-
Do you know that you can play 7 different scales by just inverting the major scale they call these modes of the scale which is use in gospel, jazz, blues and etc.
-
I can use all the modes. I'm not as good with arpeggios yet.

Me 2, I'm really gonna work on playing arpeggios more smoother this year cuz this classical music I'm playing in school is chock full of them.
-
Wow..
I've been trying without success to use other modes but am failing.
How do U go about it?
Does it apply to specific songs or can any mode be used in any song?

The key is practicing the major scale starting and ending on each note. You can use the same fingering or you can come up with different fingering, it doesn't really matter. Example:
C major scale / Ionian mode: C D E F G A B C
1 2 3 1 2 3 4 5/1
C major scale starting on D / Dorian mode: D E F G A B C D
2 3 1 2 3 4 1 2
C major scale starting on E / Phrigian mode: E F G A B C D E
3 1 2 3 4 1 2 3
C major scale starting on F / Lydian mode: F G A B C D E F
1 2 3 4 1 2 3 1/4
C major scale starting on G / Mixolydian mode: G A B C D E F G
2 3 4 1 2 3 1/4 2/5
C major scale starting on A / Aeolian (minor) mode: A B C D E F G A
*also the A minor scale 3 4 1 2 3 1 2 3
C major scale starting on B / Locrian mode: B C D E F G A B
4 1 2 3 1 2 3 4
You see that? Notice that each of those scales is the C major scale and that each scale uses the same fingering as the normal C major scale. The only thing changing is the starting and ending notes. If you look at it like that, modes will be a sinch to use.
Based on the explanation above, any mode can be used in any song. It all depends on what sound you want, where u are in the music, and where u trying to go.

i UNDERSTAND THE MODED T-Block,
I guess what I need is to see the application, say of Amimor in a popular song.
or say Amazing Grace played in the key of C in the 7th mode or 4th.
thanx.
