Gdim7 Ukulele Chord Explanation

The Gdim7 chord contains the notes G-Bb-Db-E.

To build a Gdim7 chord, take the fully diminished seventh chord formula (1-b3-b5-bb7) and apply it to the G major scale (G, A, B, C, D, E, F#). The "bb7" indicates a double flat seventh, meaning you lower the seventh scale degree two half steps.

Identify the first, flat third, flat fifth, and double flat seventh scale degrees in the F major scale which are G-Bb-Db-E.
