Mastering the Diminished Scale #2

In the first part of this series, we took a look at diminished arpeggios in triplets on the diminished scale, notes grouped 3 by 3 in a zig-zag pattern. Now we go with the next logical step, notes grouped by 4, in sixteenth notes, also in zig-zag pattern.
Like the previos pattern, it's not really a "lick" but it can be used as one, as well as used as a daily exercise/ routine/ warm-up, to keep your fingers moving.

The exercise starts on low F# and ends G1, but you should be able to start wherever you want (on C1, for example) and go whatever direction you chose. You should internalize it and play it without notes, changing direction or even going in "spider pattern" (start on G, go on A♭, then F#, then A, then F, then B♭, then E... etc, you get the idea).
