( here you go ren)

Diminished Sevenths do get a bit tricky depending on how they are incorporated into a progression. It tends to sound incomplete and wants to resolve back to the root (Hence dominant)
One cool thing to check out is that you can get four chords out of one, depending on the root.
I'll use Ddim7 as an example: D-F-Ab-B(Cb). Fdim7= F-Ab-B-D(Eb/dim)
Abdim7= Ab-B-D-F(Gb/dim) and Bdim7= B-D-F-Ab
Funky stuff.
