I am going to presume you listen to rock or heavy metal. Well, you can be the fastest gun in the west, but if you can't conjunct with the rhythm, you're dead. A solo's mood is determined by the rhythm. It's like bass and treble. You need to be able to string skip. You need to be able to hammer on and pull off. Hand taps can help too. Alternate picking has a place. and Arpeggios are important. Learn the rhythm you're playing to, determine which notes sound good when correlating to the rhythm, and them build it up. If you're not playing to rhythm and just showing off, learn to play FAST. It might also help to learn some scales and modes Break the whole solo up into parts and practice each separately and slowly, then up to speed and finally put it all together! Make sure you use a metronome or drum machine to play to for timing, so important...

Remember it's all about the feel, and to have any feel at all you must have total control over every note you choose, regardless of how fast it is.
