HELP! How do you play the Bdim7 chord on guitar?

Question

What is the tab for this jazz chord, B diminished 7?

Answer 1

Bdim7 consists of the following notes, in no particular order: B, D, F, Ab. There are only three diminished chords, which consist only of minor thirds. So the Bdim7 chord is also Ddim7, Fdim7, and Abdim7. For the others, just move all the notes up or down a semi-tone.

Answer 2

Just go google "guitar chord chart" and your eyes will be opened to a world of guitar chords. There is a plethora of guitar chords beyond the 4 you've already "learned". I have a 50+ page book at home of nothing but chord charts. There are about 20 chords per page, so that is over 1000 chords right there in that one book. None of us has the time to write down the finger positions for you. Go get a book, and a teacher, and learn chord theory (what chords go in what key, how the chords are formed from the notes in the key, what makes a minor chord different than a major chord, what's a 7th chord, what's a diminished chord, what's a suspended chord, etc, etc). You should also learn the chord shapes and how to move them up and down the fretboard to make other chords. You are right, you're only scratching the surface, and there definitely is so much more!

Playing the same formation in the sixth, ninth, and the 12th frets will give the same chord name.
