i was wondering.... i never got the story about dim chords...

i know that it's the bitriad chord, the fifth is diminished by a half step (flattened right?)... i've read a lot of books about it, but in a more theorical way, you know? i know them backwards and foward in the pentagram.. i know that they can be used cadentially cause they have hell of alot "resolvesness" (we say it like that in chile, don't know in english :confused: ) but the other day i was playing a song and Bdim7 appeared and Adim7 and i didn't know how to do them on the guitar

whats the difference between the dim and the dim7 and which are their positions on the fretboard?
why does it seem that it they're all x01212 and xx7878... ¿¿??

when i solo flamenquish, i use sometimes the xx7878 to resolve it to c maj in 8th fret, suppose it's Gdim7 cause of its facillity to go to C??

so, where are they!! and... an other thing... what sounds good on top of them ?? suppose locrian or chromatic runs
