Violin style is great for nylon string acoustics, but not so much on electric. Or at least I can't think of any electric players using that. I just love the thick sound of heavy gauge strings. They challenge you to try harder to bend, wiggle, etc. I do a lot of my vibrato with my index finger, usually bending down (toward the ground). I have never used my whammy bar for that stuff. I'm VH disciple, so I use it for sounds effects like the dive bomb or horsey-sounding pick harmonics screams. I don't even use it that much, but like having a Floyd Rose system to keep things in tune.
Not to hijack, but I really would love to post some soundclips if someone can recommend me an idiot-proof and cheap recording setup.
