I recently purchased one of the famous Blue Chip picks and decided to film my reaction to using it for the first time. Timestamps and spoilers are below:
0:00 - Intro
3:41 - Playing (Blue Chip starts at 5:32)
9:33 - My Thoughts (Is it worth it?)
** Spoilers **
To summarize this video, I can tell it's a well made pick, just not necessarily the right choice for my preferences when it comes to jazz. I like the feel of the pick, though it's not unlike anything I've ever used before. It's sturdy and holds up well during serious picking passages... but again, so do many other (cheaper) picks. I can tell it's built to last and am hoping for the best. Sound-wise, it's fairly bright and bold. Jazz guitar is all about balance; I use round wound strings and a fairly bright amp, so I prefer the pick attack to be softer and more mellow. If I mellowed out the other components to my sound then I'm sure the Blue Chip would be a better fit, but for now my favorite remains the Tortex Jazz 3 by Dunlop. Just my 2 cents, hope you enjoyed the video and got something out of it.
