4 Thicker may be better
Posted by Nathan on 15th Mar 2018
I was turned on to Blue Chip Picks by my guitar teacher. He showed me a 50 TD which is thicker than I normally use. I also had new strings on my D18 that day. The strings with a normal pick were bright and ringing, with the 50TD there was a night and day difference in the tone. Still had that new string ambiance but with a mellow jazzy tone. With new strings, I could change picks and go from a bright country-folky sound (normal pick) to a mellow jazz tone and it was like a totally different guitar. I purchased a 35TD and could not quite capture that same difference but have yet to put on a new set of strings to check out the results. The pick itself feels like no other I have held in my 40 + years of playing. Doesn't seem to slide out of my sweaty hands. Great texture.

5 TD35 to replace Fender Medium
Posted by Chris Mohnacky on 12th Mar 2018
I was reluctant to spend so much on a single pick, but the first time I played with it I noticed a vast improvement in tone and playability over the Fender medium picks I've been using for years. It glides across the strings so easily that it seems to disappear in your hand, and it makes a full round sound that is closer to a rest stroke with your fingers. Great pick. Thanks!

5 super pick!

Love the feel of this pick between my thumb and first finger, slightly tacky but also smooth. The tone that is generated is bright but with no string “click” noise. Pricy for a pick but worth the money.

5 They are great picks.
Posted by D on 7th Feb 2018
If you’re looking for a great Pick that feels solid and comfortable in your hand and runs off the string smoothly then this is a great pick. The price makes it hard to recommend though, so if you’re looking and the price doesn’t bother you, go ahead, I think you’ll get something out of it - I did. If the price bothers you, then don’t, it cannot fix bad technique or fix you a drink. It’s not B.B. King in a pick. It’s an expensive but great pick. Will I buy more? Yep. Would I buy the leather case to hold them? Yep. Loosing them makes them more expensive for all the wrong reasons. Will I ever use another pick? Yep. Am I rock god? Hell no.

5 I can hear the difference
Posted by Scott on 25th Jan 2018
When I received this pick I sat down and did side by side test with this and other picks I use for strumming and single note playing. I did this on both a rosewood and mahogany acoustics. Without a doubt I can hear a more rich clear tone with the BlueChip Pick than any of the others I use. I could hear it while playing and I could hear it when I recorded the test. The BlueChip does take a little getting use to as it does slide over the strings fast and smooth. The difference in tone is subtle but it is there and for me that alone makes the cost worthwhile.

5 Great picks!
Posted by Mike M on 18th Jan 2018
I just bought the TD 35 and 40 and have nothing but breat things to say. I gravitated from Tortex to here largely because of the slippage. These picks glide off of the strings but not out of your fingers - they’re great. I love the string clarity and tone, too.

5 1st bluechip
Posted by Dan R on 10th Jan 2018
I mostly play children’s music and until recently rarely use a pick. The blue chip pick has given me the warmth of my fingers with the strength and volume of a pick. I’ve experimented with various picks and hands down this is the best. My only question would be if there is a blue chip guitar pick with a little more treble for those times I want it to sound a bit more tinted. However I’ve only tried the 35 so i sure about the rest of the line up. Thoughts would be appreciated. Happy picking all!

5 Sort of expensive.... but who cares....
Posted by Der Duck on 8th Jan 2018
Worth every dime. Fine, fine sounding and feeling pick. Hard to find if dropped outside due to brown color (wish there was an applied reflective dot or three), but dropping is rare, it is nowhere as slippery as my old picks- the reason they dropped was NOT slipping out of my fingers while playing. Beer may have been present. I have dropped on dark ground and leaf litter, and lost, two picks (in 7 years)... but returned with no hesitation to buy a replacement each time. Its the feel in my fingers and ultra clean tone that keeps me coming back- the pick does not wear down in my experience, so it "never" wears out. If you don't want to buy replacements, don't lose it, like some klutz I could name... In my mind its the one and only pick I need or want.
