I don't think you modes has anything to do with the chords that go with a key. how ever when you play an open "g" chord on the gutiar you do use an open "b" string
jerome.oneil is giving you examples of individual notes within a particular mode. This is helpful to some but for the common beginner/intermediate sittin' around with a few beers and good friends, talk of theory regarding verbal application of lydian, myxolidan, aeolian, locrian, etc, etc, etc, rarely comes up. Practical application, in regular dude/gal speak is often much more effective and applicable. I'll attempt to expand;
Bm does go quite nicely with G. Bob Seger's ( Against The Wind) and The Band's( The Weight) are two prime examples of how nicely Bm flows with G.
Seger-Against The Wind;
G Bm C G D C ( That's the first stanza of the verse progression)
The Band- The Weight ( Take A Load off Fanny)
G Bm C ( verse progression).
Next time you feel like kickin' it around a little with your guitar and a completely open mind try this progression; Do it slow, do it fast do it however you 'unt to.
G Am Bm C D Em F G
and then this one;
E F#m G#m A B C#m D#+( X 6 7 8 0 0)really cool chord! E
and one more to fardle around with;
A Bm C#m D E F#m G A
I guess what I'm tryin' to say, and I'm paraphrasing, is this;
It's yo thang, do whatch ya wanna do.........
Just have fun and stay loose...
And if you need a great reference tool for chords I highly recommend this;
