Growing My Blue Chip IQ
Posted by Ride2K on 13th May 2016
After reading the online reviews, I bought my first Blue Chip four or five years ago, a Kenny Smith 40. I loved the volume and tone, and the way it glided across the strings. It gave me more of that 'round' tone I'm always after, and without getting rough and rasping after use.
After a year or so I lost my KS40 (a dropped pick pack outside a music store).
Over the next few years I tried other Blue Chips; another KS40, a custom TPR40 style, a TAD40, and last year, a standard TD40.
For all around use I decided the TD was my best size and shape. I use the point for more clarity and clearer strums and then go to the shoulders when I want a more rounded, darker tone (especially when using the fingers alongside the pick).
Then I lost the TD40 (at a friend's house with small, active kids).
So I was back to the TAD, the KS and the TPR.
To finally make the switch to the TD shape, I recently ordered several in 45, 50 & 60. I instantly fell in love with the TD60. For me, it works for both strumming and picking.
I handled the other 'test' picks carefully and because of Blue Chip's liberal return policy, I promptly returned them for a refund.
The two TD60s however, I kept clutched in my tight little fist. For my style it's the most stable and versatile pick I've owned.
So it seems, that for me as my Blue Chip IQ has grown so has my preference for 'thicker.' Based on your own personal goals and style you may go a different direction.
As for losing picks, my new tactic is the Dunlop 'Scotty' pick holder. It comes with a sticky square on the back side, which I've attached several inches above the neck heel on the side of my Martin 0000 M3M.
No more fumbling for pick packs, picks falling from underneath the strings, etc. When I finish playing, immediately the pick goes back in the caddy and stays with the guitar (and no more trips to stores).
So my take on Blue Chip picks is simply this: if you can't 'hear' a tonal difference then stay with whatever pick makes you happy. Ears are different. With Blue Chip picks, I not only hear a huge difference, I also 'feel' a huge difference. And that makes them more than worth the cost.
On the other hand, if you're the guy who speaks as though there really is NO objective tonal difference, and that those of us who claim there is must be delusional, then certainly, revel in your own sense of hearing superiority. If YOU can't hear it, then it can't exist. Right?
Hold on to that, the rest of us will happily motor on, enjoying each strum of our little $35.00 plus shipping delusion.

TD60 is the BOSS!!
Posted by Paul on 14th Mar 2016
Just like many reviewers, I wasn't sure if I wanted to spend this kind of cash on a pick. I borrowed one from a fellow musician, then immediately went shopping. I am consistently blown away at the difference in sound I get on any instrument I'm playing. So far I've put it to the test on acoustic guitar, electric guitar, electric bass, mandolin, octave mandolin, ukulele, flatpick banjo, a cigar box guitar, and a tricone resonator. I love the even sound I get without the extra pick noise. The feel of the pick takes a little getting used to, as it is very hard and smooth, but not slick. I highly recommend this pick to anyone who is undecided, you'll be happy you pulled the trigger and bought one. I think I'll pick up another one while I'm here...

My favourite guitar pick by far
Posted by Philip Rundall on 8th Dec 2014
I have four TD-60s, perhaps an indicator that there is no pick I prefer. Great tone and feel. I also use the excellent CT-55 on my mandolin.

My favourite guitar pick
Posted by Philip Rundall on 5th Dec 2014
I now have four BlueChip TD60s. It is by far my favourite for flatpicking with its great tone and smoothness. It feels just right between the finger and thumb. I look after my BlueChips!

Love these picks
Posted by Rich Rankin on 3rd Nov 2014
After a lifetime of first using Fender thin (as a kid), medium (as an student) and then thick (as a pro); I finally found what I should have started out with 30 yrs ago. I selected the TD60 because I'm so used to the teardrop shape. It has electrified my playing and tone, live and in my studio. I bought it for mando, but use it for acoustic and electric guitar now as well.

Best Picks on Earth
Posted by Ramon Wals on 2nd Jan 2014
Simply the finest guitat picks I've ever come across. The tone is superior and the feel is unsurpassed. A real pleasure to pick with. I will not use anything else. I've been spoiled but in a very good way.

Sack up and get one.
Posted by Conor Timpane on 30th Oct 2013
If price is the reason for holding back then you are missing out. It is worth it. Best pick I've ever used hands down. The only thing that came close was my red ear snapper belly plate pick. This pick is better and last much longer. So many good things to say about these picks. Electric or acoustic I've the same results. Quality.

TD60 is fast
Posted by Joe Hardin on 20th Mar 2013
I was forced to find another vendor for picks when my supplier had backorders. I read some reviews and chose the BlueChip TD60. This pick performs great on fast bluegrass passages as well as jazz and rock. The pick grips good and the bevels are well crafted. Time will tell if this pick holds up to it's current excellence.
