SNIP-Edited for space

I have a question about this example. The first three all make good
sense to me. All three contain Bb, a flatted 7th. But Cdim7 actually
contains the double-flatted 7th, which is actually the 6ths. Thus it
could be said to contain no seventh, flatted or major. On the other
hand, C#dim7 contains the 3rd, 5th, and b7th of C and is an easy sub for
C7. I'm having trouble seeing and hearing how this sub works.

I look forward to the lucid and helpful explanations that this group so
often provides.
