I have struggled to find a pick that suits me, but this one has done that. I like the shape and I find that this thickness pick sounds great with the medium acoustic strings I use. I am in a bluegrass band and it has helped my playing. Worth the money!

I enjoy trying this pick and like the fact that it is easy to hold. The only fault I find - which I would contribute more to my playing skills or lack of - is I tend to get it caught on the mandolin strings when I try to play fast. I find it to work well with strumming or chop chords - for me. This is one reason when I purchased this pick I also purchased the TAD-3R 40 with the right hand speed bevel. I will review it next.

The 40 thickness is what Mikie liked best. Thanks for the "extra" pick you included due to the engraved name. That was very gracious of you. These were the picks I ordered for "JANDA". Thanks agwain.

Pick slides quickly and cleanly. Ordering and delivery of product was superb. This will be my preferred pick in the future.

The TAD 40 feels great in my fingers with no slipping. It brings out the best in my guitar.

When I first received my TAD40 I have to admit that I was not doing back flips over it like others. It was MUCH bigger in size than I am used to, and I have big hands. Also, initially it didn't sound that much different than my $5 pick. But with more use I am growing to like it more and more. The differences are more subtle than I expected, but does have a "cleaner" sound to it. There is still some pick noise but it is more subdued. This pick feel thinner than the stated size and it is not overly stiff. All in all with timeI think this will be my favorite pick.

I have used Blue Chip picks for some time now. I recently got a new guitar (OM with light gauge strings) and have been trying to find the perfect pick for it. I have a TAD50 that I really liked, but thought a thinner pick would sound better. So I bought the TAD40, and it is perfect! I like the size of the TAD picks - they are very comfortable for me. The material of the Blue Chip picks is fantastic, making the pick glide so easily across the strings.

I normally use the TAD60 - I found it was great but a bit clunky for my small fingers. So, on a whim I tried the 40 and after a few days, I quite like it. I don't find the tone much different but it is easier to hold and pick.

The old cliche "Try it, you'll like it !" does not hold true for these guitar picks. "Try it, you'll LOVE it !!!" says it all. For tone, grip-ability, longevity, etc Blue Chip picks cannot be beat.
