Well I'm right from the Eddie school..so I sound like a mix of Ed, Zakk, Dime, Satch, Sykes and etc..but much worse.
Lots of squeals and divebombs..I like 'em!

half step hammer/sliding riffs, lots of dime influence (squwees and whammy), cannibal corpse type squeals on the top string in fast riffs, seizure hand tapping

I like to hit the open "G" string and drop it with the bar before moving to another playing position in a solo. Pick squeals are always fun. And tapped harmonics are cool.
Speed combined with melody and a lot of stops to hit vibrato notes.
Also combining scales - usually one solo will consist of notes out of the major/minor, harmonic minor, major blues, pentatonic, chromatic, diminished and some flat 5ths.
I use quite a lot of arpeggios running them up and down the neck - major, minor, all of the 7ths along with diminished.
I tend to rake across the muted unused strings on the way down to the one I'm looking to pick, ala Blackmore, who was a major influence. In truth, I never realised that I did it until a buddy pointed it out to me.
And then there's the usual overuse of pick harmonics. Trouble is, I grip the pick so close to the pointy-end that it's bloody difficult not to do them!
I like to play naked, and slide from the first fret to the 17th really fast..moaning. Then when im done i squirt a bottle of lotion i have behind the headstock onto the audiences face........What is it just me?
Usually, I act if my guitar is my dick. I put it between my legs and and play like I am jacking off. At the end, I put my face behind the headstock and spit on the crowd, as if I have just ejaculated. I am a classy guy.
