My Pick of the Litter
Posted by Ross Whitney on 28th Jul 2020
Puns aside, these picks really do feel and sound better to me for most purposes than any other guitar pick I’ve tried. Been using them almost exclusively for years now. I play mostly pop, rock, folk, and country styles of music. The only time I might want something else is when I need a super thin pick, which BlueChip doesn’t make.

Best picks ever
Posted by Chet on 23rd Jul 2020
I try different styles here and there but I don't use any other brand picks. Maybe I'm not an expert but I sure know what I like.

There is some substance behind the hype
Posted by John on 22nd Jul 2020
Like many others I thought there is no way I'm spending $35 on a guitar pick. But I kept seeing players I respect talking about them so when I had some spare change I ordered a TD35. I play mostly electric guitar: rock, blues, country. I wanted a standard guitar pick shape, and I play a Dunlop yellow .73 normally. The TD35 is the closest Bluechip makes. The argument that got me to try one is that a musician who plays a fine instrument, a bassoon for example, would not use the same cheap reed that a beginner would. Seems logical that if I spend a considerable amount on a guitar then is $35 really an outrageous price for something that effects your tone like pick does? My initial impression after playing a few minutes was that I was underwhelmed. It felt just like a regular old Fender medium or maybe a heavy. I felt like I'd been duped. But after playing for an extended time I started to like the feel. What really got me was when I would rapidly switch between the Bluechip, a Dunlop .73 yellow and a Dunlop .88 green. The difference was very noticeable. The Dunlops both now felt like they "stuck" to the string for a microsecond every note I picked. They felt "soft" and flabby. The Bluechip on the other hand felt smooth and precise. If I played the same lick with all 3 picks, it felt cleaner, less effort, and more accurate with the Bluechip. It gives a weird illusion of fretting hand technique being more precise also. My theory is that the lack of pick friction against the string allows for both hands to be more coordinated when that tiny, tiny bit of pick "hang up" is lessened. The difference in tonal quality was less noticeable to me than others have claimed. I think there is a difference but it's subtle for me and my playing style, etc. Lastly, my band did a gig last weekend and at the set break the drummer asked me if I was using my "expensive pick". Without knowing beforehand that I was using the Bluechip TD35, he thought my sound and playing was better than normal. So maybe there is something to this $35 Bluechip pick madness????

perfect for picking and strumming
Posted by evan on 1st Jul 2020
I've been trying to find the right pick for a long time and have been stuck using plastic picks because nothing else can stay in my hand. Finally broke down and bought the blue chip and it was well worth it, the tone is better and when I'm flat picking it is alot clearer also these things fly over strings like butter really helped me with some of those faster chromatic billy strings and tony rice lixks

It's a good one!
Posted by Jonathan on 12th Jun 2020
Of all the picks I've tested this pick rates right up there with the best of them. It has a good feel off the strings and has just a hint of flex, which I like. Also, I don't seem to have any trouble holding onto it, as well. You might find other picks that sound better for a particular application but this is a really good all around pick. If you only want to carry one, this is it.

Sounds like heaven, feels like a Fender heavy
Posted by Chris Akeley on 11th Jun 2020
I have used heavier Blue Chip guitar picks for years playing bluegrass, as well as the Reso thumb pick. They improve the sound of any guitar, any set of strings. They are the best.
I bought this size and thickness to use with 12 gauge ('light') acoustic strings and for strum-and-sing type playing. In terms of size and thickness, the TD35 is pretty close to the Fender heavy I used for years. In terms of sound the Blue Chip is in a class by itself.
