How to play Fdim(maj7) on guitar
The most common way, the first shape above: lay your index finger flat across the four strings from the low E to the G at the 1st fret, your middle finger on the A string at the 2nd fret and your ring finger on the D string at the 2nd fret. Let the B and high E strings ring open.

An easier Fdim(maj7)
The full shape is a barre chord, hard at first. This one needs no full barre and sounds much the same: your ring finger on the D string at the 3rd fret and your index finger on the G string at the 1st fret. Let the B and high E strings ring open. Don’t play the low E and A strings.
