( you can get Zoom Lessons and exclusive video lessons PLUS 'How to play on Funk' study book in the Shop) so have a look around and let me know if you need me.
Simply... The notes in D Half Diminished ( which is the 2 chord in a Minor key) are D F Ab and C
If you put a Bb underneath it... you get a Bb7 ( 9) chord. Lets play our Bb7 Be-Bop Scale over it. whoop whoop!
When we hit the G7b9 ( which is the 5 chord in a Minor key) we can play C harmonic Minor Scale over that and a great shape to use is the D Diminished arpegio ( D F Ab B). Learn how all these notes resolve to C minor...
D goes up to Eb
B goes up to C
F can go either up to G or down to Eb ( lets go up)
Ab goes down to G
Perfect voice leading, perfect resolutions.
On the 2 chord play the Dominant 7th Be-Bop Scale
On the 5 chord play the Dim arp, resolve it beautifully
and then C minor you are good to go!
Then transpose it in every Key ( Ouch)
Let me know how you get on.

to me, the better way to think about half dim chords is to think about them as a min6 chord a minor 3rd up from the half dim chord. So for D-7b5, think of Fminor. Melodic minor is really pretty and gives you the natural 9 on the 1/2 dim. Dorian is pretty also. You can hear this all over the Coltrane Lush Life album. The Bb7 bebop scale is just a variation of that since Bb7 is really an inversion of Fm6.

Absolutely Jack 💯. The next video I’ll do Melodic minors 👍
