Here I have collected the information presented in my "Harmonic Alchemy" articles into a reference spreadsheet.
GUIDANCE:
1) Generate modes in all positions
2) Use the CAGED system to generate 5 shapes of each chord + matching 1/2/3 octave arpeggios.
3) Now try the following chord progression Dm7 - G7 - G#7 #5 #9 - Am7 - Am9 - B dim7 - E7 - Am add9 which demonstrates how substitutions can be applied. It takes a regular Dm - G - Am - Bmb5 - E - Am and introduces a range of substitutions, both diatonic and non-diatonic.
4) Attempt to complete the fields which have been left blank.
