Using a BC for strumming is a huge waste of money in my mind. These picks are designed for accuracy, speed and sound while flatpicking.

Well I took most people's advice and got the TD35. If I don't like it I'll send it back. Thanks

DT, pretty much all I do is strum and I could not do without my BlueChips. Certainly not a waste of money for me, as I can not get a pleasing tone to my ears out of any of my guitars without my BCs.

TD 40 with speed bevel is my favorite all-around pick, strumming or lead. Jazz LG 50 without bevel is a very close second. I also have a TAD 50, but I prefer the sharper points on the other two.

Where is the best place to get a blue chip pick? Online?

I'm playing mostly rhythm and singing so I went for the bigger pick in a thinner material, a TAD-40. I wouldn't recommend to anyone that they change the shape when going from what you currently like to a Blue Chip. There are enough variables just in the material to consider. Also I think as you get better you opt for a thicker and thicker pick (not everyone but in general) and a Blue Chip plays a little thicker than stated thickness, and also as you get better you learn how to adapt your technique in better and more varied ways. So you guys playing Fender thins or mediums, don't be afraid of a little thicker if you go Blue Chip, you're more likely to grow into it as the release off the string is so smooth. If you are going to drop this much on a pick you'll be glad you had your name put on it when it turns up missing so I recommend going that route too as I've had lost ones come back to me. Best picks out there IMO and more and more of the guys I play with, guitar and mandolin guys, are playing them.

Ok, I'm a fan of BC TAD 40s, and never heard of Guitar Moose, but read about them in this thread and ordered a few. After playing with a .80 Carbon Fiber Sicky Grip for a couple of days. - I really like it for my small O. Nice point, very little pick-click and it doesn't slip from my fingers at all. You can even stick in on your bout it you want to park it. For $2.50 a pretty good deal

In a perfect world, BlueChip would make a TD-45.
