  1. You Can Tell The Difference Blindfolded 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 17th Jul 2025

    I bought two of these picks, one for my Collings D2H and one for my McPhearson Carbon Touring guitar.
    They seem easier to hold on to and have a pleasant attack on the strings and a solid tone; not brassy or muted…just right.

    I did a test where my wife chose two other picks I use and challenged me to determine which was the Blue Chip pick. I was not allowed to see the picks as I played my guitar. I was able to eliminate one pick quickly and then with a little more concentration, I successfully chose the Blue Chip. The pick does make a difference! Recommended for the intermediate to advanced player and for certain order the pocket so you don’t lose the pick!


  2. disappears in your hand 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 17th Jul 2025

    I absolutely love these BlueChip picks. I don’t play gigs or travel, so my picks always go right back in the same spot after I play, and these are hands-down the best I’ve ever used. I honestly can’t imagine going back to anything else.

    Even though a lot of players use these for acoustic or cleaner styles, I play a lot of hard rock and metal, and this pick works amazingly well. It glides with almost no string noise, but I can still dig in and pull out an Adam Jones-style scream when I need it.

    It’s hard to explain, but something about the feel just makes it disappear in your hand. It doesn’t fight you or get in the way. it just becomes part of your playing, like an extension of your fingers. I love it. I love it. I love it.


  3. The new tortoise shell 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 8th Jul 2025

    Mandolin players knew about the virtues of tortoise shell picks...we would wander into music stores and casually ask if they had any tortoise shell picks, and if we were lucky, the answer would be a YES!
    Those days are gone. But Blue Chip has discovered a more humane alternative and has made them available. Now, you can ask if they have any tortoise shell, and if not, if they have any Blue Chip picks.

    Life is good!


  4. outstandibg picks! 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 7th Jul 2025

    These picks are absolute perfection in every way and worth every penny. They will last and be a trusted companion for a long long time!


  5. Yes. These picks ARE worth it. 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 1st Jul 2025

    Great sound. Great feel. I was particularly interested in the claims that this material has a natural "stickiness" to help prevent the pick from turning in my grip. I've tried lots of other "grippy" picks and most of them don't really work for me, but this material does. I opted for an engraving, but I wanted greek letters - ΙΧΘΥΣ. I was concerned that they might not be able to handle that, but the order form allowed me to enter it, so I was happy to see my pick arrive with my chosen engraving. Nice!


  6. Great feeling pick 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 1st Jul 2025

    Definitely enjoy the feel and tone of this pick. It has a place along with other types of picks I use. Definitely would recommend this to anyone searching for a better tool.


  7. Repeat customer! 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 24th Jun 2025

    Bought the TD 40 to try a traditional shape guitar pick. Love it! It's replacing the Fender heavy gauge picks I usually use. Like the low amount of pick noise. Guitar picks usually make one of three sounds " Thud Thud Thud", "Scratch Scratch Scratch" or " Click Click Click". This pick doesn't do any of that!!!


  8. BlueChip Is the Best 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 7th Mar 2025

    Yes, they are expensive, but you get what you pay for. Compared to a more regular pick, BlueChip hand polishes all edges of the pick, so the point of attack is perfect. I've been using BlueChip picks for years, and they hold up extremely well. Money well spent. This was reinforced recently when I picked up a combo pack of Rombo picks. The edges were terrible. I should have known better...


  9. workhorse of a pick 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 6th Mar 2025

    I’ve been playing the TD 40 for many years. The tone quality is perfect for flatpicking.


  10. For me, there is no turning back from my Blue Chips 5 Star Review

    Posted by on 6th Jan 2025

    I have two TD55 Blue Chip picks that I use for my acoustic playing, primarily bluegrass and jazz. I've had those picks for at least 10 years, and I use them all the time. They are still great. I wanted to get a lighter more flexible pick for my electric guitar playing. I finally picked up a TD40. I have some other picks for my electric playing that are good and I like a lot, but the Blue Chip is just the level above. Feels good in the hand, feels good going across the strings. Just love it. For me, totally worth the money.
