Thank goodness Sean allowed me to shoot some video of him that night so that even though he's physically gone, we at least have been able to document his great talent and share it through UA-cam.
Went to see him play at Northside Tavern. Got there early, he was at the bar, we talked blues music and influences. He bought me a beer (which I didnt drink at the time, but downed it anyways). He then proceeded to get on stage play every one of my favorite blues songs I have named earlier one behind the other! Made my night! a couple of months later, he was gone. So glad for that night at Northside, truely one of the best!!!!
Man, I cant help but feel like us younger guys lost the cat that was carrying the torch for the next batch of young blues players. Sean, you were always a pleasure to see and to hang out with. I'm still so damn sad that you're not with us anymore.
THIS is what makes youtube great! Being able to jump right into a master's performance like this means the music will never die. Sean is so on fire here. How we all miss him so much...
Saw this guy many years ago at a small bar in Port credit during the Sept blues fest started by chuck , it was like a mini srv show , licks , presence , devotion , stunning set and THEN ONE YEAR LATER , DEAD , DAM DIRTY DRUGS , PEOPLE WAKE UP.
Leaves one breathless....such a tragic loss....such a huge talent. Who can possibly fill his shoes? Why do we lose such huge musical talents every year? And, years before their time? The connection between exceptional talent and enormous personal strife or affliction exist all too often. I am thankful to all who have captured Sean Costello's performances on You Tube so that many more guitarists can be inspired. I am just awestruck and very sorry I did not see him live.
@Sluwickie I also never saw Sean. I figured I had all the time in the world to see him. I'd grow old with him and he'd just get better and better. But he's like the brightest stars in the sky that burn out so quickly. I feel cheated....I just wish I could have said something to him that would've mattered and who knows? But I'm just a guitar player. I love you Sean!!

Seems all the good ones that payed attention in class leave us too early. RIP.

A masterclass in phrasing! Such a shame he died so young.
