Hope that explains a bit.

I'm not an expert musician by any means but I understand enough and this makes no sense to me. Firstly a standard D chord is D F# A. Gb is the enharmonic equivalent but it should still be written F# so in the scale of D every note is accounted for. Also if youre advised to play 3 and 7 from the C scale there is nothing there to indicate the 7 is flat.
How is the chord C7 b5
or C 13 # 11? If you play all the notes at the same time it is both. With a C in the bass as suggested the chord would be C13 b5 m7.
