Hell yeah brother!!
Posted by sebastian liljenberg on 21st Jun 2021
I'm a bit heavy handed in my right hand and pretty much all picks wear very fast in my hands. Except from this little guy, im very impressed! No signs of wear in atleast 3 months of daily playing.
Glides very smoothly over the strings. Money well spent!
My first package got lost in the mail, and they sent me another package with express delivery free of charge. 10/10 will buy again.

Made a believer out of me
Posted by Bill on 14th Jun 2021
Been flat picking for 40+ years and didn’t really believe the hype, but I’ve been convinced!
Like any product on the “high end/professional “ side of things, you pay for the little things, (the 20% that makes 80% of the impact) but it makes all the difference. I’ve never played a smoother, quieter or faster pick.
If you’re serious about flatpicking and serious about tone you should buy one.

Changed my mind...
Posted by Steve on 14th Jun 2021
Zac Childs@ askzac, Brad Paisleys former tech got me interested. Felt a bit careless spending that for a pick but seem to be hooked on them now. Went back and forth for a while between the Blue Chip and my usual which was the Dunlop Primetone. Anyway converted over and bought some more. I treat the pick now like any other piece of gear and when I’m done playing it goes in its place until next time instead of just tossed aside. Plenty of feedback about performance available and feel it’s pretty true. Great product and worth its price. Just take care of it like the rest of your gear. Thx.

Excellent Pick
Posted by Rob on 7th Jun 2021
I have a TP40 & was looking for a little thinner pick, so I got the TD35. Works great, slick on the strings. Only negative is I'd like a TD or TP 30. NOTE on customer service: ordered one engraved pick and got two. My name Rob was spelled Bob on one pick. They could have put that one in the trash, but they sent it to be used. I call it my Daddy pick as his name was Bob! Great Job guys, and thanks!

Dont sleep on a thin pick
Posted by Joseph on 21st May 2021
I always thought I needed a thick flatpick for tone. Nope. There’s something bouncier in a 35. It pushes through a string with ease, snappy and quick. A thicker 50, by comparison, drags through the low E reluctantly. Feels cumbersome to me now. More resistance. My wrist has to work more. None of that spring-loaded snap in response that my 35 has. I’m converted.

only one pick needed
Posted by Art Barrera on 10th May 2021
I’ve always been a light pick user. After seeing lots of reviews on the blue chip pick I wanted to try one. I didn’t really understand the number system or thickness on each pick,so I emailed blue chip and asked which ones was the thinnest pick they have. I was told TD 35, I said sold. I ordered one couldn’t wait for it to arrive. It arrived a few days later, It was very much thicker then I had hoped. So tried it out and found it was easy to get used to and have to say I love it now, the tone from the pick is great. It simply feels great between your fingers. I hope I never loose it. I would love to have a backup just in case lol great pick guys Worth the cash. I even bought my bother one. He’s still trying to get used to it but I’m sure once he does he’ll feel the same as I do.

So Far My Favorite
Posted by Hank Stevens on 6th May 2021
I’ve tried a few different Blue Chip picks, and they are all finished to perfection. I like the composite material. It seems a little stiffer than nylon or plastic of similar thickness, and I think produces a more mellow tone. I also like the “feel” of the material, which I would describe as a little “grippy” (but not sticky). They don’t slip around in my fingers as much as other materials I’ve tried. I also like the way they come off the strings.
I'm a relative beginner on guitar (about 1-1/2 years) and have tried several different brands, materials, and thicknesses of picks to figure out what I like best. As my skill level has improved, I find I like stiffer picks. Blue Chips are expensive, so trying out different ones to find the shape, size, and thickness you like best is not a cheap proposition. However, I’ve been very dedicated to my practice and invested in a fairly expensive, nice guitar, so the price for these picks seems worth it.
Every Blue Chip pick I’ve ordered has been processed and delivered very quickly (typically in 2 business days with normal shipping). I live in Knoxville, TN where these picks are made, so that probably helps the speed of delivery. But still…kudos to a very efficient operation! A TAD40-1R was the first pick I tried. It’s a slightly oversized, triangular shaped pick with one corner rounded. The rounded corner gives a slightly more mellow/warmer tone, while the pointed corners give a little brighter tone—nice to have the variety in one pick. Being a relative beginner, I also wanted to try a little less stiff pick, so my second try was a TD35. This is a very traditional teardrop shape and size. I’ve also tried a Jazz35 LG and a TP40-1R. The Jazz35 LG is similar in size to the TD35 but has a sharper point, which produces a little brighter tone. It also feels very precise when picking. The TP40-1R is the same shape as the TAD40-1R but is a more normal sized triangular shaped pick. I’ve had a hard time deciding which pick I like best, but I’m currently leaning more towards the TD35. Between the TAD and the TD, I like the more traditional sized TD.

Excellent light guitar/mando pick
Posted by Brad M on 2nd May 2021
If you generally prefer a larger pick like the TAD40, the TD35 is a great alternative for smaller guitars, lighter gauges, strumming, and an overall lighter tone. It's also excellent on mandolin for classical and Brazilian choro. It's still pretty stiff despite its thickness due to the material but it does have some flex.

Who knew?!
Posted by Rick Underwood on 28th Apr 2021
I was hanging out and picking guitars with my friend Dale Morris Jr.(that Dale, yes)one day when he told me he was going to show me the most expensive guitar pick I’ll ever see. He disappeared for a moment and then proceeded to hand me a Blue Chip pick that a friend of his had given to him. I knew immediately after picking a few things with it I would be ordering one asap. I believe he handed me a TM 45. I ordered the TM35 because it seemed to be the closest thing to a Fender medium like I have always used.
It arrived and I can tell you this, I haven’t used another pick since and probably never will. In fact, I’ll be ordering another one just like it. The feel and response are perfect. I am picking much smoother runs now and it just feels right.
I can’t believe I paid for what I did for a guitar pick but I can honestly say that I’ll do it again. There is something almost magical about it.
Also, I know where this pick is at ALL times. When you spend this kind of money on a guitar pick , you’ll stay very aware of its whereabouts! Also, it seems to be virtually indestructible. I haven’t got a mark on it yet and I’m currently in a rock trio.
To the fellas at Blue Chip, well done!!
To the pickers on the fence about spending good money for a guitar pick, just do it. It’ll be the best pick you’ve ever used.

worth every penny
Posted by Dylan oakes on 22nd Apr 2021
Was looking for a premium pick and could not have been more impressed, the pick glides across the strings like butter but doesn’t slip in your fingers .
