Pentatonic Scale:

Style: Blues, Rock
I use this scale extensively in blues and rock improvisation. Its simple, five-note structure makes it versatile and easy to use in various musical contexts.
Blues Scale:

Style: Blues, Rock
Like you, I love the blues scale for its soulful and expressive qualities. It adds that classic bluesy flavor to my playing and works well in blues and rock styles.
Dorian Mode:

Style: Jazz, Funk, Fusion
The Dorian mode has a smooth, jazzy sound that I enjoy using in jazz, funk, and fusion contexts. It adds a bit of sophistication to my improvisations.
Natural Harmonic Minor Scale:

Style: Metal, Classical
This scale is perfect for creating a dark, mysterious atmosphere, making it ideal for metal and classical music. I often use it to add tension and drama to my compositions.
Mixolydian Mode:

Style: Rock, Blues, Funk
The Mixolydian mode has a laid-back, bluesy feel that works well in rock, blues, and funk styles. It adds a bit of a twist to my improvisations, giving them a more colorful sound.
Ionian Mode (Major Scale):

Style: Pop, Country, Rock
The Ionian mode, or major scale, is a staple in many genres, including pop, country, and rock. Its bright, cheerful sound is perfect for creating uplifting melodies.
Lydian Mode:

Style: Progressive Rock, Fusion
The Lydian mode has a dreamy, ethereal quality that I like to use in progressive rock and fusion music. It adds a sense of otherworldliness to my compositions.
Phrygian Mode:

Style: Flamenco, Metal
The Phrygian mode has a distinct, exotic sound that works well in flamenco and metal music. I often use it to add a bit of spice to my playing.
Locrian Mode:

Style: Experimental, Avant-garde
The Locrian mode is the darkest and most dissonant of the modes, making it perfect for experimental and avant-garde music. I use it sparingly to create tension and contrast in my compositions.
I hope this list gives you some new ideas to incorporate into your playing!
