Right at 2:12 you can see the 90 degree wireless transmitter at the bottom of billie's guitar and as well in other short parts of the vid. So yes he is definitely plugged in. If the third guy behind Jason isn't playing through an amp that's miced up, he is going direct into the recording console so they could get a good clear and solid rhythm guitar track for this video. It's basically so the band can get that on stage sound they are used to for the performance, but they also get that extra guitar via electronic signal to blend with the mix. And why do this you ask? You would do this if the performance is going to be aired live and the engineer only has one shot to get what he needs.
