Can’t beat blue chip picks! I have several of them and used the TP for a long time but the TPR50 is my favorite it is so smooth and has a full warm sound. Going from a sharp to round point was honestly easier than I thought it would be and I now prefer the rounder feel the way it glides over the strings
I appreciate that input. I was curious about going the difference from going from a sharp point to a round point! I may have to try the TRP50! Thanks for the comment🎸🤟
Excellent interview. It’s great to learn how the business started. Trying to find the “right” pick suitable for all types of music that would sound great with my all guitars was a journey. I literally have a bunch of bags of different types of picks. All sorts of materials and thicknesses. I heard about BlueChip picks but couldn’t imagine they’d play that much better to rationalize spending $35 each. After learning how to flat pick and playing Bluegrass music for a couple years I bit the bullet. I’m hooked. My favorite has been the TAD40. I’ve got one in each guitar case and rarely use anything else. I also use a TAD50 for my mandolin. Glad to hear Matt has done so well with them. They are best I’ve used.
Hey! Thanks for sharing that!
I was curious why you need to switch between the TAD40 and TAD50 for your mandolin playing?
I am in the same boat. I use the TP48 and it is my daily driver now! Such a great pick. I find it makes my playing sound warm!
@@FretsandFingers I’ve experimented with several types and thicknesses which is how I arrived at the TAD40 for most all my guitar playing. The thicker the pick the warmer the sound for my playing. The thicker TAD50 just drives through both strings a bit easier and controls the shrillness of the higher notes a bit better than the thinner picks. I’ve also got a TP50 1-R which I also use on the mandolin and the rounded corner creates a much smoother, warmer tone than the sharper corners.
What a humble guy. I just ordered a TD60. Thanks for sharing this. I’ve been thinking about getting one of these for years. This made me pull the trigger
Oh that’s awesome! Let me know how the TAD 60 treats you :) I’m glad you got some useful information from this interview!💯🤟 Thanks for watching🎸
I bought one from Goins when he first started selling them out of his RV at BG festivals. I was a tortoise only guy, but knew right away these picks were going to take off. First one I got was a TP 50 and I STILL have and use it. Since then I’ve bought three TP 48s because I now own 4 guitars and want a pick to stay in the necks of each. These wonderful things last forever and I think losing them is the only way you’ll ever need to replace it. For folks like me who can keep track of em Goins might’ve made em too good for his own good!
They do wear down, but not much, and wear down evenly and smoothly.
I’m a BC fan boy for life.
That’s awesome. Thanks for the comment. I too use the TP 48. I quite like it. I have a buddy who plays every day and he had his 3 years before needing to replace it! Very worth it in my books.
I lose picks often, but I have managed to not lose my Blue Chip because I always keep track of it 🤣
I've been playing guitar and mandolin for over 6 decades, and used all different kinds of picks. My Blue Chip SR40rb is the perfect pick for my mandolin, on every level. Thanks Matthew, you got me running with your flag now.
Very cool! Have you tried a few different Bluechip picks? Or was that your first one, and it just felt right? I’d be curious to know what you like about it specifically?
Thanks for the comment🎸🤟
@@FretsandFingers A friend had given me a Kenny Smith40, and I really liked that one, but it was a little small. I went back and forth with Matthew in a couple of emails, and based on his information, decided to get a SR40 rb, and it's perfect. I use it for playing mandolin, and it has a round bevel, which I found can speed up my playing. It's clear and projects very well, and the material is amazingly non-slip and will probably never wear out in my lifetime. And the customer service is excellent as well. Definitely worth the cost.
@@randyjohnson9507 that’s great! Yes honestly, that’s what I’ve noticed is Matthew is truly the heart of the company and wants his customers to be happy. Can’t ask for more than that!
Great pick. Wish I could afford more of them!
Yea it would be nice to try out a few different ones without such a facial strain! Which one do you use?
Love this interview. Made me help make my mind to buy two picks! Matthew seems like a great honest guy. I will support him as long as I can.
Also subbed to your channel. Great interview
I am really glad that hearing him talk about his picks helped you make your decision to purchase a couple of them! Which ones did you go with?
And really appreciate the sub and support. Thank you🙏🎸
Great interview thanks!!
Thanks for the comment! I really appreciate it!
These picks are great. I was skeptical about a $35 pick and find there’s a lot of snake oil when it comes to gear but these things do deliver. Also I think Billy strings said he uses the TP48 because Bryan Sutton does.
I didn’t realize that is why he uses the TP 48. I bought the TP 48 after I saw a rig rundown with Billy and saw that he used that one :P
@@FretsandFingers I think maybe it was made in that thickness for Bryan Sutton. Not sure, but it seems like it’s the only pick they offer in that very specific thinkness. Anyway good interview and enjoyed the one with Marcel as well. Goood luck with your channel.
TPR50 is my jam!
I might have to try one of those out! But I also feel like going from a point to a rounded edge might be a learning curve lol
