I'd add, "Note Stack" to that list.

Certain inversions of chords that a keyboardist grabs easily, and may attempt to use as guitar parts, are actually giveaways because they are either virtually unreachable on the guitar neck with standard tuning, or, if reachable, very hard to have strong fingers left over for certain bent notes.

But perhaps the single most cheezy thin that can happen is use of Modwheel for bends that sound like Modwheel instead of bent or slide strings.
