Worth every penny
Posted by CAMERON MEDINA on 8th May 2021
The TAD-40 was the one I ended up with first. I was looking to try the same pick that Bryan Sutton uses as I’m currently going through his online bluegrass flat picking courses. I guess I got mixed up and got the wrong one because I think he uses a TD48 but I am not disappointed.....I’ve always played acoustic blues tunes and delta style blues but recently decided to really spend my time moving towards more bluegrass flat picking and older fiddle tunes. That being said, my style has changed and so has the necessity for a new style of pick. I can’t say enough about how comfortable this TAD-40 feels in the hand. At first I thought maybe it was a bit large but with my size hands it settles into the nook perfectly. The control is great, the tone pristine, and the speed and comfort while playing is unparalleled to any pick I’ve used during my 17 years playing time. It never seems to slip away which just baffles me, and if it does seem to shift just a bit, a small adjustment puts it right back in line effortlessly. I’m more than happy with the TAD-40. I ended up buying a second one a week and a half after the first!!’ Highly recommend . Wouldn’t use anything else after this

My do-it-all pick for guitar
Posted by Brad M on 2nd May 2021
After favoring the smaller TD35 and TD40 on guitar for a while, the larger TAD40 is now my go-to for single-line picking and strumming. I have a lot of miles with the CT55 on mandolin so the larger size is comfy for me. The TAD40 creates noticeably more volume and weight, and overall better tone IMO, on all my guitars from parlor to dreadnought. If I'm only strumming on a track I will choose a thinner pick but for overall versatility, playability, and tone quality, the TAD40 takes the cake for me.

It's Everything I New It Be
Posted by Dwayne Elix on 29th Apr 2021
Before I purchased a BlueChip pick for my mandolin playing, I asked others their opinion. Artists Rhonda Vincent and Doyal Lawson raving reviews made me want a BlueChip pick even more. My wife loves jewelry and this pick was about to become my jewelry. A diamond can make me look good, but a BlueChip is going to make me sound good.
Perfect size, shape and tone I look forward to purchasing more BlueChip picks.

Another incredible pick!
Posted by Ben on 2nd Mar 2021
I had no idea what a difference a pick could make. It feels like its added years to my experience level in quality of tone and ease of play.

The perfect pick!
Posted by Bob Goldstein on 16th Feb 2021
I've tried so many picks through the years trying to match a beautiful real tortoise shell I borrowed from some player 20 years ago. I never came close until I found the Blue Chip TAD40. Perfect thickness, feel and shape. I can lean into the strings or lightly touch them and get the dynamic response I've been listening for all these years. My search is over!

surprised at the difference this pick makes
Posted by JW on 2nd Feb 2021
I didn’t order these for a long time. Figured it couldn’t be worth the price. I don’t understand the technology, but it makes playing clean easier and doesn’t slip from your fingers. Very surprised at just how much difference this pick makes

Very Nice
Posted by Michael on 15th Jan 2021
Picks can coax some very different sounds from your guitar. I grew up on the faux Tortise, then nylon, then tried Acetal even. Each and their own quality on sound. This pick actually has its own unique artistic contribution to my music. It feels like it makes the strings ring a little more clearly and the slickness of the material makes a different kind of music emerge from my guitar, which I enjoy. Weirdly enough I seem to be more accurate in my flat picking techniques as well. TAD 40: I'm sold.

Lives up to the hype
Posted by Mark Eastman on 13th Jan 2021
I was pretty skeptical about spending this kind of money on a single guitar pick, but I’ve tried every gimmick out there and haven’t been completely satisfied so I said, “what the heck”.
It was a good decision! Unlike many people my fingers tend to be dry, making it hard to hang on to picks. I’m not having that problem with this one. I’m also happy with the shape, thickness, and the almost noiseless quality.
Will probably get another.
