The Fdim chord can be played in five core CAGED positions across the fretboard, plus additional capo shapes and inversions. The voicings page lists each position with interactive fretboard diagrams, suggested fingerings, and audio previews so you can compare how they sound.
What are the CAGED positions for the Fdim chord?
CAGED maps the Fdim chord onto five open-chord shapes (C, A, G, E, and D) moved up the neck. Each position gives the Fdim chord a different timbre and fingering, which is useful for voice-leading between chords, sliding between positions, or matching the register of a song.
How do I play the Fdim chord with a capo?
Capo shapes reuse open Fdim fingerings in any key by clamping the capo at the fret that transposes the shape to your target root (F). The voicings page shows capo-friendly Fdim shapes along with the capo fret each one requires, so you can keep easy open-position fingerings instead of barring.
What are inversions of the Fdim chord?
An inversion places a note other than the root (F) as the lowest-sounding pitch in the Fdim chord. The voicings page shows first inversion (lowest note Ab), second inversion (lowest note Cb), so you can choose the bass note and voice-leading that best fit your chord progression.
How do I play the Fdim chord in Drop D, Open G, or baritone ukulele?
