Why this dim7 chord is very difficult

[dwest2419]

Hello guys back with another thread. I have this dim7 chord that is played as notes: A#/Bb - C#/Db - E - G Now I know that piano players would play the dim7 in this particular fashion but as a guitar such as myself I find it very difficult to play. It has its stretch on the fingers. So what other way can I play this dim7 chord? By the way Im working on a Fred Hammond song called When the Spirit of the Lord and it seems as though it is in a minor key. But there's this particular dim7 chord that they play that I find very difficult to perform on the guitar.

Thank you for viewing my thread. ^_^

You have 6 strings to play only 4 notes, so it's not too difficult to find an inversion that works.
For example, the notes you gave: A# - C# - E - G can be played:
x
5
3
5
4
x
Another inversion:
9
8
9
8
x
x

The great thing about dim7 chords is that each note is the same distance apart, meaning each note can be the root. So, no matter what inversion you play, it will still sound good.
