@shysue Oops! It is the top five... I guess we forgot to update the forum giveaway details!

@devin Okay, I've been playing with this new pick for over an hour and I have to say . . . I'm gonna cry if I lose this one. Love it. Feels good and just slides off the strings, one of the best picks I've ever played with. It's actually helping me play better! Really a lot of fun and I'm a convert. Thanks again. :^)

@rinny51 Hi Eric, I chose the TP-1R 40. There were a lot to choose from and I didn't know what the numbers signified, but the FAQs on the website explained things pretty well. Just can't get over how much more fun it is to play with this pick!

@shysue Nice! I'm glad you like it! Yeah, I felt the same way when I tried one for the first time. A much smoother sound and feel than any other pick I'd tried. Looks like you're on track to win one more BlueChip pick this month so you might be able to get yourself a backup 😀

@rinny51 The TP 40 is pretty sweet, 1.0 thickness in terms of other picks... It has a larger triangle shape, so if that is not your style, opt for the TD40, the same thing but a more traditional shape. I choose these because they are styled more for bluegrass I believe, and also not extremely thick. Just my perspective. It is an amazing pick, definitely win it if you can... But be careful with it, mine just fell through the crack of my porch. 🙁 Trying to devise a way of getting it with something like chopsticks.

@macschildergmail-com Thanks for the advice, I think i would probably go with the more traditional pick shape. I am more into strumming and alternative picking although recently cross picking has got my attention.

maybe put a piece of gum on the end of your chopstick or some gorilla tape LOL

@macschildergmail-com Thanks for the info Mac. I have the CT 55, but I haven’t tried anything else; a creature of habit I guess. Just wondering if you’ve tried this blue chip and what you like better.
