The locrian mode is a crazy scale that branches off of the seventh degree of the major scale. So it's relatively easy to learn because you just back down a half step to the seventh and there is your mode. For instance, for C you're going to do that with B and you're going to have a mode, a B mode that's all naturals. Sort of like the phrygian mode but you get an additional lowered fifth. Because of that lowered fifth it's something akin a little bit with the blues scale, but I wouldn't make a direct comparison. It's just something you can kind of slip in there.
