your comment is fair but a diatonic 7th scale is 1 3 5 7 taken from mother scale in the dim scale it is more "friendly". yes its "different" ,but it is still dim, and thereore has its place. Especially if you dont want to modulate. But for the other guy saying Aeroliao scale, then he should call it Aerolian mode, which is the same as natural minor, you can see he just looked it up, he can now call the major scale by its greek name too, might as well call a chord triad

the Aerolian mode is the greek name for natural minor.

This is a Diminished 7th arpegio. However the tequnique of using this Dim 7th argegio popping in and out of a normal scale is a good lesson and I thank you for it.

I don't wish to sound picky!! pun intentional you are not playing the diminished scale as such, but the the 4 tones of the arpeggio,maybe you should check your facts !
