Edim7

E1G♭3B♭♭5D♭♭♭7

Three minor thirds stacked. The seventh is doubly diminished, which is why it is written with a double flat.

What is true of it

Edim7 is E, G, B♭ and D♭ — 1, b3, b5 and bb7 counted from E.

The easiest of the 1 fingering below is 9a9a: 3 fingers, one of them barring the 9th fret, held at the 9th fret.

None of them uses an open string, so this chord moves up the neck unchanged — the same shape 1 fret higher is the chord a semitone above.

The brass dots are E, the root. Everything else is a chord tone with its degree printed in it.

An inversion is the same chord with a different note lowest. The name changes to a slash name because the bass is what a listener hears as the foundation.
