Assuming that you are playing by ear. Just assuming not implying.

You can play with the modes of the major scale Ionian and Aeolian to spice up your music if your getting bored with the major scale. Start with the key of c. For example all the white keys on a keyboard are the c ionian if you switch scales (otherwise its the major scale). When most people learn the modes they think the modes that compose the major scale which are different keys but in reality what you need to do is play all those modes at the key of c. You can also think of switching to the c aeolian as the Eb major. Also you dont want to switch keys until a complete chord progression is played. Another thing you want to keep in mind is if you want a more softer tone learn your 7 chords like major 7 minor 7 and 7th chords.

Here is the c ionian scale

and here is the aeolian also known as the natural minor

you can also use the most common chord progression found in music I IV V

basically the "I" chord for c ionian is the first note in the scale which would be C you just play that note as the lowest note in the chord and play for example the 3rd note, 5th note and the 7th note to make a c major 7.

the IV chord is the fourth note in the scale which would be the 4th note in the scale as your root note for the chord.

and 5 the fifth note of the scale same thing as previously.  

another thing that might be useful is knowing your triads of the scales or chords

here is a link on all the chords for the ionian and aeolian(or natural minor)
