    Ya, this is a studio track and heā€™s ā€œlip syncingā€ along to it. The wah part sounds like it might be an auto-wah effect, meaning that itā€™s a wah, but operates on a set speed instead of by manually modulating a pedal. John Petrucci uses an auto-wah a lot in his solos.
    The tapping heā€™s doing at 2:28 is using the edge of his pick to tap, rather than the typical fingertip. Adrian Smith from Iron Maiden used to do that a lot in the 80s.

    On a related note sometimes pro guitarists will have someone off-stage handling certain effects for them, like kicking an overdrive or autowah on and off at the right times. A quick example, this is how Jim Root of Slipknot gets his ā€˜wahā€™ sound in the chorus of ā€œWait and Bleedā€ during live performances.
