Sweep picking isn't used on that solo, but generally you should just try on getting the notes a clear as possible before speeding up for use in song.

If you want to focus on those indivudal things though, just look on youtube, there are a fair few good help videos out there ;P

Vibrato, I bend the string slightly as opposed to the traditional vibrato methods. As for tapping, you just have to practice it. But I find it easier if you use the middle finger of your plucking hand as well, and at least three notes in sequence. Which is why I find it quite easy to play Metallica's One solo. Still not learned sweep picking yet, but I'd start off slowly to begin with. Same with anything on guitar.

Actually I used too, before I got into playing the drums. Then I started messing around the drum machines which got me into producing DnB
