I know many of you already know this, but I didn't... and it's REALLY cool!
The Diminished Seventh chord shape is a little challenging for a noob to make, or at least THIS noob. I find it slightly easier to do a partial barre with the index finger and then hit the 1st and 4th string with the middle and ring fingers. (because my pinky finger is pretty worthless at going places quickly and repeatedly)
But, the cool thing is that each position of the dim7 represents FOUR different chords, and whichever one you want to call it... move 3 frets up or down and you've got another inversion of the SAME chord! Seems like a tidbit that could prove very useful to use for a transition if you're about to play a chord that's in a different location on the neck.
I just picked this tidbit up here, just casually mentioned at about the 9-minute mark as if it's not the coolest thing in the world and way more interesting than the rest of the video.
