Why do I have to complete a CAPTCHA?
I bought it to play my banjo I'm just beginning but thought I'd try it out on my guitar. It was totally awesome finger picking my guitar. I have found the only thumb pick I will ever use. I have small fingers and all the plastic pics I would buy would stretch out within a month. Blue Chip is tough and has lasted a year.
It also keeps the plastic "noise" down as the pick moves across the strings. Also, when I sweat onstage it doesn't move like plastic picks do. I've only been playing banjo about a year, but have been plagued by string scraping from the plastic thumb picks I've used. The noise was completely eliminated when I started using this pick.
It also fits very nicely, and I have very thin bones. Good job Blue Chip. Been looking at buying one of these for months now. Got a Master Card gift card for Christmas and decided to use it to buy a pick. Very glad I did. Wish I hadn't waited so long. The best part for me is being able to adjust it to fit my thumb and it staying that way.
I highly recommend it. I've tried a lot of plastic picks and none come close. I also have a TP50 guitar pick that is awesome.
What can I do to prevent this in the future?
They make a leather pick case that clips to your key ring for the guitar picks that I use. Wish they made one for the banjo picks too. My wife, Virginia Lee Blood, guitarist and singer with Mixt Company, plays Lester Flatt style rhythm, and wears out regular thumb picks quickly.
Last Christmas I bought her a Blue Chip thumb pick and she loved it. Unfortunately, she lost it and has had to "make do" with a regular thumb pick. So finally this Christmas rolled around and I made myself the hero and ordered her one of these new J. And I use them for my mandolin also.

Thanks for a great product I purchased a JD-M on a friend's recommendation, and couldn't be happier. Besides the fact that plastic picks usually only last me weeks, if they're tight enough not to slip, they cut off my circulation. The Blue Chip fits perfectly, is much more comfortable, and I don't have to take it off every few songs to get the blood flow back.

They were too loose or too tight, and usually twisted around during songs so I felt like I was always chasing them.

I used to grind off the tip of a Golden Gate every 3 weeks, but I've used one of these for 18 months, hours intermediate student use a week, and only minimal wear at the corners.
