He is definitely using a pick. He keeps it tucked away underneath his middle finger while he isn't using it. The awkward hand movement at about 4:20 implies that he has just put it away.
Sean really kicked this songs ass.I mean that in the most literal terms I could ever meanit .The original had horns which is fine but I think just Sean's hot raw sounding guitar playing sounds so much better with out the horns.Awesome post my favorite video on youtube period, thanx a million
I don't think he is using a pick at all - but it does look like it as he is holding his index finger and thumb together as if he were holding a pick. Anyway, that's my theory! I'm particularly amazed at the rapid upstroking of the strings near the end - that's what really made me post this tune.
He's using raw flesh on steel like Albert King and Hubert Sumlin. Great voice...this guy should've gained the recognition that was given to John Mayer. Just read the autopsy report. What a terrible waste...
When reading the autopsy report you also should know, Sean had Bipolar disorder. Study's show that many creative people had bipolar disorder. You can donate to: The Sean Costello Fund for Bi-Polar Research.
and I'm sure Sean didn't want to leave in that manner it was a tragic mistake. Living with Bi-Polar must have been like hell on earth. I wish by some miracle he could have been helped. I pray for his Mom and family.
@anthonypepitoneVideo He uses a pick when he was playing close to the bridge. Notice how he could get a bright sound even when he was on the neck pickup. Also the later half of his solo he used his pick. He just keeps it on reserve in between his fingers when he needs it. The guy had incredible feel.

Where in the heck does he pick up that pick when he plays the main lick? Cause he is playing with his fingers but sometimes he has a little pick in his hands...looks like a magic trick to me.
he palms the pick,,,for those interested

@FenderBassman155 You're right - I've known that for quite some time. It's tricky to catch him in the act however.
