Please excuse me in advance if I don't use the correct terms.

I'm practicing on a pretty famous solo, Versace on the floor by Bruno Mars. Here's the one that I'm learning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G479XXcjoTU.

But then I discovered that there are a lot of players doing the "advanced" version of it. On the 4th bar of the solo, they tend to replace one single note with a scale (I don't know if those were scales or just a bunch of random notes, sorry). For example

Can you help me specify the technique? It sounds a lot way cooler, to be honest. How can I apply them to my own version of the solo? And if possible, can you give me a direct link to the lesson on GT?

Thank you and advance and hope that my words are clear enough for you to understand.
