Chord Naming

[kutkeyz]

I'm Confused about something and I know you can help me. Let's say for example, in the key of C is the IIb a Db/C#? If so then what type of chord should TYPICALLY be played there? Since the II chord in a major key is minor should i play any kind of minor chord? I know I can always use the books I have from you too! I just was curious as to what a keyboard player would usually do in this situation.
Thanks
P.S. I love the course

The bII 7#9 always is good you can resolve it down to the I 6,9

(bII)  7#9

Db 7#9

(I)  6,9

C 6,9

Don't get yourself hung up on that "RULE" that you hear in everybody elses course that you must play a minor chord on the II.

There are no rules!

Go ahead s use this chord on the II as  pssing chord in the above example.

Here is II 6,9 b5. The is nothing minor about this chord. There is no (F) in this chord.

(II)  6,9 b5

D 6,9 b5

So now our sequence becomes  II 6,9 b5 , bII 7#9,  , down to the (I)  6,9.

(II)  6,9 b5

D 6,9 b5

(bII)  7#9

Db 7#9

(I)  6,9

C 6,9

Enjoy!!

Does that help?

That helps a great deal! Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question.
Again, I love the instruction
