$35 pick is no better than a $.25 Fender pick.

More expensive does not always mean better. Lesson learned.

Not a bad pick
Posted by George Manns on 30th Mar 2018
I use a wide variety of picks on 5 different guitars, I also change it up according to the speed I'm playing. I have 4 BlueChips and I'm sure I will have a couple more in the future.I really enjoy them for faster flat picking, they really stick to your fingers and produce a quality tone. They work for me, I would like to see some coupons or discounts after purchasing 4. With all that said if you have a quality instrument you should be able pick it with a Opossums tail bone
and get a decent sound.

Excellent Consistent Quality
Posted by Don Denison on 28th Jan 2018
This is the best pick I have ever used, there is less vacation between this pick than the differences between different tortoise shell picks. This pick is an excellent replacement for the tortoise shell pick I have used since 1955. I needed to slightly round the points and retire the bevel, but this was easy after having worked over so many tortoise shell picks over the years. The only criticism I have is that because of the color the pick is easy to set down and lose, a brighter color or more obvious margins on the pick would be helpful, also a lighter color would help in making it easier to locate. Excellent, consistent picks, at last a replacement for tortoise shell!

Posted by Paul Boyd on 5th Oct 2017
Started with the TAD 40 then ordered a TAD 40 3R for my mando, The wife tried the 3R and will not give it back! I may try the 50 3R for my mando these picks are a little spendy to experiment with but are the best we have used.

Over Rated
Posted by Gary on 6th Mar 2017
Wanted to see what all the hype was about so I bought the Blue Chip. Played with it for a couple of weeks and went back to the pick I was using (TUSQ). The tone produced by the Blue Chip was very similar to the TUSQ but I still prefer the TUSQ. Based on the price, I was expecting a significant difference.

perfect for mandolin
Posted by mike on 30th Aug 2016
I know a lot of folks like a super thick/heavy pick for mandolin. I tried a few. This size works perfect for me. I don't lose any speed when picking and it's easy for tremolo and rhythm. The projection from my June F5 is still great. Don't lose a thing.

Just Get Some
Posted by Carl Turner on 4th Aug 2016
Quite simply these are the best picks I've found, and I think I've tried them all. The 40 is perfect for mandolin and the 50 for guitar. And the wooden box is a no-brainer. Simply awesome products.

Love these picks!
Posted by Harry Trainer on 31st Mar 2016
I started using BlueChip picks about a year ago and I'm hooked. They are my all time favorites. I use them every day and they still look brand new, not like other picks that I have to replace after a month or two. There are no signs of wear at all. I really like the feel, the way they glide over the strings. At the moment I have three TAD's, a 40, a 50 and a 60, as well as a CT 55 and a thumb pick. When I needed the thumb pick modified to better suit my playing the folks at BlueChip were happy to help. You can't beat that for service. I am definitely a satisfied customer. Thanks!!

Sound like a Pro!
Posted by Mike Penney on 27th Mar 2016
The size of this pick for playing mandolin is great! I find the rounded corners with the speed bevel to be just what I needed for all the great songs I am trying to master. When I received the pick in the mail I immediately took it out and began playing my mandolin. To my surprise my wife said - You sure are sounding great tonight. Are you doing anything different? I told her it is my new pick. She told me everything sounds so much purer. I thought that was great coming from my number one critic and fan!

Found THE Pick!
Posted by Michael London on 25th Jan 2016
I've experimented over the years with different picks, but this has become my favorite. I've always liked brighter, thinner picks (ultem...) for acoustic guitar, and didn't initially connect with the more muted blue chip tone. But this TAD40-3R has a fullness and substance to it that has made it my go to pick. I get plenty of edge as well. My ear doesn't miss the brightness and it has improved the speed and fluency of my technique. To me the TAD40-3R has more presence than the more pointed styles. And it just flies on the strings. www.michaellondon.net
