      Those notes weren’t random at all, he played incorrectly on purpose. This Dragonforce solo, while fast, isn’t based on some weird ass scales a good guitarist doesn’t know. It honestly probably took a lot of effort to play those scales just slightly incorrectly for the entire duration of that solo.
