Interesting. That nicely sews together several other modulations.

Someone could use a diminished chord based on some technical music theory basis.
I guess it depends on the style of music. I use them at times in certain "old school" blues progressions and a few other places. For the type of music that appeals to me, I don't find them often useful. It is the two-chord of any natural minor scale but I don't find I use it very often.
Then again, I am not a very skilled arranger. I do like the sound of fully diminished being used as transitional chords in the spaces between major scale notes. For example, going from C major to C# diminished to D minor as in "I've Got Friends in Low Places"
There have been musicians who like to use them...lol

They exist, they are clearly placed in most keys and, equally, are avoided or substituted by many players. I tried to use them but I didn't learn any when beginning so, as with all new chords, they don't come to hand automatically. I usually substitute something similar but different. A short bridge to modulation instead of jumping off a cliff.

Rob is clearly a very smart man and a great guitar player. I support him on Patreon.
I am a guitar player. Sometimes my eyes glass a bit listening to 20 minutes of theory. I get the math, but not a lot of guitar players do. So, without all the underlying theory here's 2 situations where the diminished 7 works great for me.
The quick and dirty if you will.
Consider a standard 12bar blues in F. I will assume Nashville notation is understood. This helps moving it to other keys.
1. I use the 1 diminished chord against the 4 chord (Bb) in the progression. Call it Fdim, Abdim, Bdim, Ddim - whatever you like. I'll normally hit the Bb for a beat then quickly voice the diminished for the remainder of the bar. This sounds best where the 4chord is a dom7 (b7) vice a maj7 or maj6 chord. More tension. Comping I'll run the inversions up the neck. Good guitar practice Soloing I often get by just playing the arpeggios. Again Good practice Sounds great there. Get in get out before you get back to the 1.
2. I use the #5 diminished against the 5 chord (C7). It also works great against altered chords (b9,#9, b13,#13) either comping or soloing Call it C#dim, Edim, Gdim, Bbdim. Symmetricity is a beautiful thing, even if its not a word. Same ideas. It sounds great in a minor blues especially one with a 2-5-1 turnaround back to the tonic. You can't linger. Whip it out, let it sound, & move on.
Hope this makes sense to somebody. Its not all that hard. Be fearless. That helps a good bit.

These fingering positions are part of the issue with diminished chords on the guitar.
With these fingering positions, you can be forced to mute as many as three strings...not exactly easy
This is a diminished seventh chord in a moveable form and fingering position that is not too difficult to play. I use this most of the time. I usually (right or wrong) think of this diminished seventh chord as a " diminished" chord and the three-note diminished chord as a minor flat five.
This A# diminished chord came up in a song Dan just posted, which was in the key of Bb. I had to seriously think about how to play over that "out of key" chord. Switch from Bb natural minor to A# Locrian mode...lol Got over my head pretty quickly...lol
When this post first started, I never realized how many songs I have played that had diminished chords. Now it seems like they are coming up every day...lol

I also think of a diminished chord as a minor flat 5 chord and I write it as such.
I believe technically if the key of Dan's song is actually Bb then that diminished 7th chord is Bb diminished 7th.

With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
