He changed the pickup from the bridge (farther back on the guitar) to the neck position (closer to the neck and the frets). It gives it a bit of a hollower and a mellower tone.
Lots of players have a tech switching tones behind the stage, but in this case I think it’s just playing dynamics and maybe a flick of the pickup switch.
haha..wow..you know ive watched countless hours of this kind of stuff on youtube..and i can honestly say that it never gets old..everytime you even think that MAYBE youve seen even SOME of it all…you find a new video to blow it open..man i sure would love to get to jam with guys like Buddy on a nightly basis..whata life that would be
I was born on the same day as buddy, July 30th, my last name is Gibbons, AND I play guitar. Am I the only one that thinks it’s a sign?
Buddy Guy is the king of blues, his mustang sally is amazing!
Two true LEGENDS!
Love This Shit, my two favs of all time
he switched effects because he can control sound itself with his mind….
Buddy has the coolest shirt I have ever seen. Want. Want badly.
@RockTheLord he switched from the bridge or middle and bridge pickups to the neck pick up
Billy is fucking wild.

How did buddy switch effects? no pedal there?
AT least Billy’s gettin some tone . Cause buddy sure as hell aint
yeh i know man! love Rio Grande Mud and Fandango! =) he plays slower nowadays, but that doesnt have to be a bad thing..i love both!
I would rather say that Billy is old and groovy. cos if you listen to the early ZZ Top, Billy are very energetic and wild.
