Excellent pick and a great value
Posted by RJ Bulkley on 27th Jun 2014
Like a lot of flatpickers I have worked my way through myriad picks: celluloid, Delrin, acrylic, "gel", "tor-tis", mystery plastic. genuine tortoiseshell, bull horn, etc., etc., and have settled on the Blue Chip as the best of the lot, beating genuine tortoiseshell by virtue of durability, ease of replacement, legality, smoothness, and most importantly, feel and sound.
I feel totally at ease with the pick in my hands, I am confident playing all dynamic levels and feels, and I can get the tonal spectrum that my Martin is capable of. I never get tired playing the guitar with this pick! Therefore I believe that this pick is a fantastic value.

All around awesome
Posted by Trent on 23rd Jun 2014
I tried the teardrop shape first, loved it, but wanted something more. Tried Chris Thile's pick but I play guitar and the bevel just lost the tone a bit for me. Then I tried the TAD 50 and the tone was exactly what I wanted. But MOST of all, I can honestly say my speed and accuracy has improved immensely because of these picks. They glide like butter, but really grind and growl when you need em to.
A word for Wegen: their tone is super nice as well, definitely brighter, even with a harder pick, but overall BlueChip has won me over hands down.

Blue Chip TAD 50
Posted by HJB on 14th Mar 2014
I never thought that a pick could have such an amazing sound compared to other picks I've been using. It produces a sound that I would call chime like, although not in a brassy sense but very pleasing to the ear. I'm convinced that this is the only pick for me from now on. The size produces three equal picking points so it matters which corner you use. Fantastic!

a very good pick

This is a great pick and I like the slightly larger size than my earlier BC -- it is nice and sticky. I only wish it had a GPS device on it. DCampbell

The last stop
Posted by Wiam Otto on 11th Oct 2013
The TAD50 pick from Blue Chip is the holy grail I've been searching for. I am truelly happy with it and can't see myself ever playing with another pick again.

Pure
Posted by Chris on 24th Jul 2013
This is the best sounding pick I've ever played. It pulls a great pure tone out of my dreadnought. The TAD shape is extremely comfortable and also essentially provides three identical pick corners so when one wears down you have two more to use.

Versatile
Posted by Dan on 7th Jun 2013
This is my go to pick when I need one pick to do a bit of everything. I have lots of high end picks that are great at one type of playing but not as versatile as this one. I like the brightness of this pick over the thicker ones. It still has a warm thick sound but not too warm or thick. I noticed a small hint of an almost raspy sound that I really enjoy. Not a harsh sound, its hard to describe.It really adds something to the tone. I use it for a full bodied acoustic guitar with 80/20 bronze strings.

Received my TAD50 a few weeks ago and it's the best pick i ever used! Great feel and tone and well worth the money!

TAD 40 & 50
Posted by Andrew Perry on 19th Mar 2013
Just received my 4th TAD 50 (one for each bluegrass guitar). I was initially very dubious about the price modelling for these picks, but they are exceeding good compared to others on the market, and the larger triangle suits my arthritic right thumb, and a slightly thinner pick can be used in this format than in a teardrop. If you pay topp dollar for your guitr(s) then $35 for your most important point of contact with it is acceptable. Plus Messrs Goins are great communicators.
