I've tried doing horn fills when playing soul covers - like Roland said, it would be a struggle to get a horn "sound" through a guitar, but staccato double-stops can give some nice horn-type fills.
Supportact said: [my style is] probably more an accumulation of limitations and bad habits than a 'style'.
In terms of note choice, I'd be playing around the 12th fret, on the DGB strings, barring all 3 with my first finger, and playing around the chords with just those strings:
This sort of thing:
- - - - - - - - -
12 - 13 - 12
12 - 12 - 12
12 - 14 - 12
- - - - - - - - -
- - - - - - - - -
and
- - - - - - - - - - - -
12 - 15 - 13 - 12
12 - 16 - 14 - 12
12 - - - - - - - -12

Lot on line about Steve's style - riffs, double stops, use of sixths, partial chords,etc. He did bend strings but quite small steps by modern standards - when your strings are 12s with a wound third you aren't going to be Gary Moore.
A lot of the blues guys would have horns in the studio but on the road a guitarist playing horn like stabs - those kind of 11th and 13th chords ( or partial chords) on the top strings. If you listen to Freddie King's instrumentals he incorporates that idea into his own playing.
the wife’s giving me funny looks though, last week it was my usual Quo and Sex Pistols type of stuff!
