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.

Blue Chip gets a Blue Ribbon
Posted by Gerald Friedman on 24th Mar 2020
Have started playing again after a long hiatus and have been struggling with numerous picks.
Saw the TAD60 being used by an on-line instructor and thought I'd give it a try.
Has made all the difference in the world in my progress getting back to playing.

Great pick

A friend introduced me to the TAD 50. The shape and size is comfortable. The bevel has improved my play significantly. I like the mellow tone. Well worth the price.

phenomenal
Posted by Jonathan Stickley on 30th Dec 2019
I’ve typically used thinker picks (TAD60) but I wanted to try something thinner after hearing Bryan Sutton uses a TP48 or something. Turns out I really love this TAD50! Cool to have different thicknesses for different moods, string age, tones, etc. All BlueChip picks are great!

Better than expected!
Posted by TBar on 11th Sep 2019
I had thought a 50 thickness would be too much and wouldn't give the flex needed for pick nuances, but this triangle TAD gave just the right clarity and muscle to impress me! I love it. My playing is better and the tone is similar if not better than my "real" picks.
