Increase Fingers Independence Broken Chromatics exercise

I suggest you a nice chromatics exercise that must help you to give each left hand finger equal work and ability. (Usualy most of the job is done by the fist and middle finger). Image your pinky as strong as your fist. That would feel great! So this is the kind of exercise that can put you into the state of mind of achieving this....
The lick starts horizontaly on E low string then go vertical and end horizontaly on the E high string.
This is a chromatic scale where you skip the first half step/ play 1 step forward / 1half step backward /1 step forward / 1half step backward /1 step forward / 1half step backward and so on...
At some point you might feel lost and twisted with the fingerings. Learn it and play it as slow as I do in the slow motion part. You will get nowhere trying to attempt it fast before you perfectly memorized the notes.
Once you get into the logic of it, you'll love it!
Here's the tab of the beginning but do you really need it?

Finger excersize? Seems like you need another finger excersize to be able to play this one.

it looks to me like YOU don't have finger independence, your pinky is flyingall over the place when you use your other fingers. or is this just supposed to be for learning to USE your pinky?
