Faith Rewarded
Posted by WILLIAM E GRAY on 21st Dec 2020
Spending this much money on a single pick took a leap of faith but it turns out the Blue Chip is everything I hoped it would be. The proof is I came back and bought two more as gifts for my guitar playing friends. They're everything they claim to be and more.

It has a smooth glide over the strings, a distinctive tone and it really sticks to your fingers.

Blue Chip picks are the best!!
Posted by Todd Swaney on 7th Oct 2020
I already had the JD Crowe banjo pick and was very pleased with it and this guitar pick instantly brings out the sound from each guitar I've played with it!

My favorite Blue Chip for acoustic
Posted by Christian Sezenias on 4th Sep 2020
I’ve owned a TPR 60 and TAD 3R 60 for quite some time and have thoroughly enjoyed them but wanted to try something just a bit lighter and with a more defined point to get a little more high end out of my Martin 000-15s which is all mahogany. The TAD 50 absolutely nails it. I’ve experimented with a myriad of pricey picks chasing the perfect balance of effortless playability and optimum tone and Blue Chips always come out on top by a considerable margin. The TAD 50 is perfect for the performance and tone I’ve been seeking. Much to my astonishment, a duplicate engraved pick was included with my purchase. I can’t imagine that was an oversight on Matt’s part. I’m literally set for life with picks. A higher recommendation I can not give.

Game changer
Posted by Troy L on 25th Aug 2020
This pick is butter! I love it so much, I don’t think I’d have perfected nearly as many tunes if it weren’t for this pick. It may seem like an over statement, but I won’t play and tony rice unless I have a blue chip handy! thank you!

Exceeded Expectations - Best Pick I Have Tried So Far
Posted by Nicholas Gangemi on 21st Jul 2020
I thoroughly enjoy the tone and feel of this pick. With the right handed bevel, the pick glides through the strings with little to no pick noise. The material is stiffer than more "conventional" pick materials, so I found the 50/1000" (1.25mm) thickness to be perfect, even though I am more used to something closer to 1.3mm.
After playing on it for two weeks, I found the shape to be a little too large, so I ordered up a TP-50 which is a smaller triangle in the same thickness. This TP-50 is perfect for me, so I keep the TAD-50 in my case as backup!
If you're hesitating about trying a blue chip, do it! They are worth every penny.

Best pick for Bluegrass flatpicking
Posted by Ian Valentine on 8th Jul 2020
Definitely worth the money. And it seems indestructible. I've got some other picks that I've used for years and so, unless I lose this, it's very worth the money.
I don't know whether its the material or the bevel edge, but it slips through the strings more easily than any other pick.

Best Bass Guitar pick ever
Posted by Ed Butler on 11th May 2020
This is my second Blue Chip pick. Initially I purchased the TAD1R 60, because I thought the rounded point option might sometimes be useful on bass. I was very happy with it, and decided I wanted a spare so I could stash one in each of my main practice locations. Instead of getting the exact same pick, I went with the TAD50 to try the slightly thinner option -- and because I found I was never needing the rounded point on the TAD1R 60. For me, the TAD50 is the perfect balance of attack and warmth I want for bass guitar.

Change the way you play
Posted by Tom on 6th May 2020
I finally bought another blue chip (lost the first one) after realizing how silly it was that I was trying to do serious work on right and left hand technique and just using all sorts of different picks and ones that would wear out within days. Nothing to make you feel inadequate like playing Billy in the lowground over and over...and over every day just focusing on every sensation of your picking actions.
As a violinist, it would be unimaginable for me to use a different bow every week, or just casually lose one under the couch. I treat my pick with the same respect, and it rewards me in the same way my relationship with my bow does.
