Re: Help me use this diminished lick
Another context? It's what's normally played -on piano- in the old black & white pre-talkies, just as Snidely Whiplash is tying Liza Belle to the railroad tracks, with a steam locomotive fast approaching from the distance!
Or you could just listen to The Beatles' mid-'60s revival of the (even THEN old) "'Til There Was You". Granted that it's on guitar, but Mr. Harrison nicely moves the series of diminished 7th chords (for my money, the SAME diminished chord) on up the neck 3 frets at a time.
While I've had relatively little (read that "absolutely no") formal music education, I still find it amazing how much can be learned just because someone had pointed out such details along the way.

Our mistakes weren't quite so easy to undo
But by all those roads, my friend, we've travelled down
I'm a better man for just the knowin' of you."
