Once you find youself playing a dim triad any place on the neck you can move it up or down by 3 frets(minor 3rd) all you want. Just land in the right place and it works great.

Good example, Bob
The progression shown is G - G#dim - G#dim (inversion) - C

Another way to do a similar thing is

This uses the four-note version (the dim7).

Thanks Bob,
But isn't the second-last chord G7b9 ?
I know it looks like a diminished chord, but...

I usually add the 9th string in there too. There's a small temperament problem, but the chord is dissonant anyway so it doesn't matter much.

Here's one of my favorite E9 passages:

1  ________________________________________


2  ________________________________________


3  ________________________________________


4  ________________________________________


5  ____8_______7_______6_______5______3##__


6  ____8_______7_______6_______5______3#___


7  ___________________________________3____


8  ____8_______7#______6_______5#__________


9  ____8b______7_______6b______5______3____


10 ________________________________________ 


      Amin7   D7b9    Gmin7   C7b9   Fmaj7

The second and fourth chords look a lot like diminished chords, but they make more musical sense as 7b9 chords.
