I just thought I'd mention the "Tiger Claw" vibrato; Vai uses it quite often (over use in my opinion). If you have a floating floydd rose tremolo pull the arm away from the bridge and release it suddenly. The springs of the system acting in opposition make the note very very rapidly waver up and down over decreasing amplitudes until the bar comes to rest after about 1 second. It sounds great but more like a tiger "pur" than a clawing associated noise. Great for a properly fierce metal solo.
If I couldn't laugh at myself how could I laugh at someone less ridiculous?
