Good observation. He's definitely a Strat player, regardless of his baroqueness. Hendrix, Jeff Beck, SRV and Eric Johnson constantly tweak their pickup selectors, vol & tone controls AND attack the strings in different locations.
Constantly chasing tone and trying to articulate.
When you listen to live Hendrix, i.e. Band of Gypsies, he's switching between effects constantly. Not just for specific sections of the tunes, but throughout the soloing.
You're right, lot's of players just sit on a sound they like, and it gets boring.
That's the bluesiest Yngwie's ever gonna get.
Have a great weekend!!

I've been trying to find some other video of Bonamassa and Moore who also use the tone and volume controls constantly. Yuo just have to listen to Moore's "still got the Blues" to hear that. I read an interview somewhere where he said that there is no channel switching on that song. It's all just volume and tone.
Amazing.

You can control a lot with your attack. Where you pick, how you pick, varying how you pick wherever you pick-- and changing all that fluidly. A player who anchors his right hand to one spot and holds his pick the same way for everything he plays will sound...
