How to play Gdim(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 3rd fret, your middle finger on the A string at the 4th fret and your ring finger on the D string at the 4th fret. Don’t play the B and high E strings.

An easier Gdim(maj7)
The full shape is a barre chord, hard at first. This one needs no full barre and sounds much the same: your index finger on the D string at the 5th fret, your middle finger on the G string at the 6th fret, your little finger on the B string at the 7th fret and your ring finger on the high E string at the 6th fret. Don’t play the low E and A strings.
