Actually, I'm pretty sure Willy's using a partial capo. I know Shubb makes one that can cover any 2-3 consecutive strings, although it looks like he's using a different brand. On his song "Angry Words", for example, he puts the partial capo over the 3,4,5 strings on the second fret with a standard tuning. He uses some crazy tunings on some of his songs, combined with some creative use of the partial capo.
Willy is amazing. That video is good, but doesn't do him justice. If you ever get a chance to see him live, do NOT hesitate. Great showman, sneaky-good vocalist, excellent songwriter, really funny guy, and absolutely SICK chops. He can leave a room dumbfounded with just him and his guitar.
