Best pick I’ve ever used
Posted by Eli Matijevich on 10th Oct 2023
This TAD 60 is a replacement for one I used for the last 4-5 years and finally lost. I’d used numerous picks ( some fairly expensive ones) for years before buying my first Blue Chip. The difference in feel was immediately noticeable, after losing my t original, I again tried all the other brands that were sitting in my pick container, unused, and couldn’t find one that gave me the same feel & sound. I ultimately broke down, gave up searching for the original, & bought a replacement. While I was ordering, I went ahead and bought a Blue Chip thumb pick as well. I’m a satisfied customer.

Mysteriously great
Posted by Tim on 21st Sep 2023
I can't tell you what is is about BlueChip picks, but something in the materials create both a feeling of freedom in your playing and that you're in control all at the same time. A paradox with beautiful sounds!

Great Pick
Posted by Karel (Netherlands) on 25th Aug 2023
Sure must be the easiest playing pick i ever used! Use it mainly on a Telecaster w. Hybrid Picking, gives a great grip. Used Dunlop Ultex and Chickenpicks before, but this will be my no.1 from now on. Might try a TP60 in the furure too!

Blue Chip TAD 60 Review
Posted by Dave Covington on 24th Aug 2023
I'm a long-time user of Blue Chip picks and have loved every one. My go-to pick has been a TAD 50 for years but I was looking for a little sturdier pick to bring out the highs while playing closer to the bridge. The TAD 60 is exactly what I needed. Same playability of the TAD 50 with a little sturdier feel. I know that this pick will give me many years of service just like the others that I own.

Like Butter!

Just the right amount of tackiness and there’s practically no attack noise. I get a great full/ balanced tone.

Greatest pic I’ve ever owned
Posted by John anderson on 1st Aug 2023
It’s the best sounding check I’ve ever came across when I had a stroke a year ago I had a problem holding onto my Picks for some reason blue chips seem to be much easier to hold and now that they custom any pick by by putting the holes in them that are in the in the Andy woods pic it makes it much much easier to hold

Very Pleased
Posted by Brant Harris on 12th Jul 2023
Produces a remarkable warm tone. Doesn’t slip, great grip. Feels very nice in the hand. Glides through the strings effortlessly. A worthy investment.

Simply The Best
Posted by Unknown on 24th Jun 2023
I have been playing both electric & acoustic guitar for over 40 years in many different styles and have tried many pick types. The Blue Chip is hands down the greatest pick I've ever laid fingers on!
What amazes me most is that, while it is in my experience the smoothest, slickest feeling pick coming 'off the string' so to speak, it is at the same time extremely resistant to moving around between the fingers. One would think that, just as it glides so easily across the strings, it would also slip out of the hand easily, but not so!
I love these picks, they are the best!
Thank you.

Checks off ALL the boxes for a great pick. Buy it without question. The triangle shape is awesome.
Posted by Hunter on 14th Jun 2023
This pick does an excellent job in all categories. These are my criteria for an excellent pick, and since this pick accomplishes ALL of them (not just 2-3 like most picks), the Blue Chip is a master pick:
1. Balanced tone (equal representation of all frequency ranges, from bass to mids to treble).
2. Good volume potential (you can put energy/force into the strings and the acoustic guitar can be loud).
3. Good speed potential (it is shaped and beveled to glide off the string if you want it to).
4. Low pick noise (less distracting sounds when you hit the string).
5. Good grip (it sticks to your fingers more, and is NOT likely to slip from your fingers).
6. Durable material (this material really does resist wear-and-tear).
Another aspect to this pick's tone requires more explanation. The tone is more lively or 3D than cheaper picks. It makes the strings leap out more. It's sort of like when a singer's voice is more forward and has a bit of space to it. They cut through without applying extra effort, and their sound is pleasant rather than dull. Other picks sound more "flat" where the sound doesn't seem as lively. This is one of the things that makes a guitar sound "average" versus "studio quality". But you can really hear this 3D quality in the room with the Blue Chip. You don't have to put as much effort into the strings for the sound to come out. It's definitely more dynamic and lively. I think the triangle shape adds to the tone as well, because it sounds really punchy and full (on top of having more surface area to hold onto). If the TAD60 shape feels too large, the TP60 is slightly smaller (the same length as a Dunlop Flow pick).
Conclusion: This pick earns the right to ask for $35. Violinists spend a lot more on a good bow, and guitarists spend plenty on electronics like pedals and pickups. Why shouldn't guitar players invest in a proper pick that checks off ALL the boxes? It's the best investment you can make. You COULD get something like the Dunlop Primetone, and that pick IS good; however, the Blue Chip is another level above that. There are no compromises. The Dunlop Primetone has more "clicky noise" when hitting the string, and the sound is not as lively (it doesn't leap out like the Blue Chip). You COULD get the Primetone and check off half the boxes (still good), or you could do the right thing and make no compromises:
Buy the Blue Chip, and get that cool carrying case for $4 so you can securely hold onto it. Then you can spend years enjoying the best, and FINALLY forget about your pick.

True review, best tone ever.
Posted by Terry on 5th Jun 2023
I was watching a YouTube video by Joe Robinson on the equipment he uses. At the end of the video he talks about picks. He raved about a very expensive guitar pick called Blue Chip and said it was very expensive but gave him the best tone out of all his picks. I didn’t believe him but I have never seen him exaggerate. So I bought the TAD 60, and I bought a competitor’s pick, same size and thickness to see if Joe was correct. Uh, yeah, Joe was right. I don’t actually know how but the tone from this pick is amazing. I can hear the difference. I admit that I have some high end acoustic guitars which already have great tone. I did not expect any improvement in my tone but I was happily surprised.
