Exactly what I've been looking for!
Posted by Andrew W Staff on 23rd Jun 2021
I'd really struggled to find a pick for my guitar. I don't really flat pick but do a lot of clawhammer type stuff and the picks I had been using were so light that they sound a bit wimpy. The Blue Chip deepens the tone and brings out the character of my Larrivee in a way that other picks just dont. The bevel on the edges is perfect for when I do need to flatpick or just get clarity in melody playing. The smoother edge is great to have as well for more mellow sounds.

TAD501R: Best I’ve Tried Yet
Posted by Nile D. Brooks on 26th May 2021
The title says it all!! I’ve got 2 of these and they just make every guitar I own sound “better”. A fuller, deeper sound is produced. Some may question that assessment and say that’s what you want to hear spending that on a pick. Nope. I’ve played different picks for non-musicians and every single one of them agrees. Some preferred different picks to their ears but all agreed, the Blue Chip produced a deeper sound.

Careful, they’re addicting!
Posted by klt on 19th Jan 2021
Just love these picks, try the —-R’s as the rounded corner is really smooth and a definite sound change for strumming. As all Blue Chips they bring out the best in your guitar’s unique sound. Careful they are addictive!

Great pick!
Posted by mamoru masuda on 5th Jun 2020
I lost the pick I had been using for more than 5 years, so I purchased it again.
I'll keep using it for the rest of my life, being careful not to lose it.

worth evey dime wish i didnt wait so long
Posted by James M on 15th Mar 2020
It took me four years to pull the trigger an buy a blue chip pick
The price was the big issue but like the old saying goes you get what you pay for and Now that I have one, I wish I didn’t wait so long, it is worth the investment.
I use my tad-r1 on my acoustic an electronic guitars
On my Martin D35 it bring out the rich harmonics even more
On my Gibson j15 it softens the treble an rounds out the sound and on my Stratocaster it glides smoothly across the strings with out the plucky sound. The Pick Really helps the guitars shine through when recording. Hands done best pick I’ve owned and I will be back to order a few more in the future
Thanks Blue chip you got a great product, keep up the good work !

Pickin' & Grinnin'
Posted by Mike Brummitt on 9th Jul 2019
WOW! Just WOW! It took me a while to get up the gumption to pay $35 for a guitar pick BUT I am so glad I did! This thing is AMAZING! Fast off of the strings, incredible tone, and the gribibility is the best. My Blueridge BR-160 never sounded so good!

absolutely the best!!!!
Posted by zane glasscock on 9th Jan 2019
I've tried almost every pick out there in my 50 years of playing guitar and nothing I've tried compares to the blue chip pick. Genuine tortoise is close but heats up and grabs the strings after an hour or so of hard picking I wish blue chip made a brightly colored pick cuz the brownish color is hard to find when dropped on a dimly lit stage but other than that little gripe they are excellent!! I own about 5 of them and have given several away to friends. Fantastic product!!!

Outstanding Sound
Posted by Bob on 3rd Jan 2019
I'm an intermediate mandolin player and mostly play old time and bluegrass music. If you had asked me to bet that a pick would change my sound I would have bet against it. I received a Bluechip as a Christmas gift and in the two weeks since I've been amazed at how much more vibrant and 'shiny' notes are coming out of my instrument - trust me, I haven't changed in those two weeks. It's definitely worth the money!

Best pick for picking single notes
Posted by Susan on 20th Sep 2018
I've been playing guitar for only about 5 years and mostly play bluegrass. I love picking fiddle tune melodies and the first time I tried one of these picks I was sold. I felt like it enabled me to play faster because it glides over the strings so easily. Surprisingly, though it doesn't stick to the strings, it also doesn't slip out of my grip.
I recommend monogramming it so you can identify yours in a crowd because everyone will want to try it.
