Chord Format Question
So, I'm okay with chord charts but I'm a little fuzzy on the text versions. The ones with 6-digits aren't a problem.
i.e.: E9=024100
What gets me is the 7-digit version.
i.e.: Fdim(III)=0003434
What is the significance of the 7th digit?  How do I read this?

Wouldn't that be a seven string guitar?

It was in the midst of a bunch of 6-digit chords, so I don't think so. I've seen other 7-digits, too.

That is an Fdim7. You don't play the open strings since they are non chord tones as far as I know.

But why 7 digits? It doesn't make sense. And you're right AT - those strings can't be played open on Fdim 7. It's XX3434

Yep - methinks maybe an extra '0' got thrown in there by mistake.
