Ask @FrancescoFiligoi
wich of your guitars is the most beloved one?, and if it has an story please tell us :)
Definitely the Blackmachine B2. Here's a little story: some time ago I was really really craving for a B7, I saved money for a long time and literally pestered anyone I could find on the internet that owned one, trying to buy it from them.
Nobody accepted, but a really nice guy from the UK wanted to try my B6 so we traded our BMs for a couple months. After we spent some time with each other's guitar he decided to keep the B7, I was a bit let down but then this magic B2 comes out of nowhere on Blackmachine's website.
There were almost no chances I could end up with it since Doug was receiving 100s emails each day regarding that guitar, but I still wrote him.
Well I guess I was very lucky this time :) he replied and was positive in letting me buy it. It was more than what I could afford, had to ask for a couple early payments at work and spent the following 2-3 months starving, but TOTALLY WORTH IT.
The guy from the UK collected the guitar directly from Doug and then shipped it to me along with my B6, I returned him his B7 but to be honest when I played the first couple notes on the B2 I couldn't even remember about the B7. I was actually so scared of the alien sound/look/playability that I had to reput it in the case and go for a walk, could not believe it!
Still the best guitar I've ever played, perfect in every possible way. I recently did an extended comparison with it and all my other guitars on rhythm, lead, clean etc. It's so much better it's not even funny!

i like your music ,, how can i support ?
Thanks! Sharing our stuff with as many people you know is really the best thing you can do :) beside that, we'll soon have merch available, will be nice to see folks with our tees on!
Our first track is gonna be "pay what you want" on Bandcamp, so if you like the music enough to put a dollar or too, it won't hurt haha.

Hello, I've never thought about it, (because i'm no expert in the domain of soldering/routing/pots...), but is it easy to switch from actives to passives ? what is to be changed (other than the pickups !) . Thanks, btw, you rule :) :)
You'll have to change pots to different ones, if it's from active to passive, my suggestion is 550K BKP pot that you can purchase here: https://www.bareknucklepickups.co.uk/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=24_71&products_id=201
I have a little problem, I have been playing for a couple of years, and I have extremely short fingers but I have some mobility in all except the ring finger, it seems to be really stuck with my middle finger, btw I have some strenght in the pinky, but the ring has never been better, any exercise?
Hope it's not, but you might have focal dystonia? Christian Muenzner has it too: http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/guitarist-christian-muenzner-forced-to-sit-out-spawn-of-possession-european-tour/
Anyway, scroll down some of my answer, I posted a video response in which I suggest some ring/pinky exercises to strenghten them and make them more independent.

Haven't been listening to extreme metal for a few years and thinking of coming back, any good websites to catch up with quality extreme metal music you'd recommend? Thx :)
I usually stay up-to-date with certain blogs or webzines but if you want to dig into the Extreme side only, http://www.decibelmagazine.com/ and http://www.terrorizer.com/ are for you.
Did you do anything special for halloween? Is it big in Italy?
Nah it's not that big here, plus I've got flu again so :/
Quante chitarre hai in tutto? Quali sono? (elettriche 6-7-8 corde)
Una quindicina tra elettriche, acustiche e semi. Se vai un po' sotto nelle risposte le ho tutte elencate
and in dimarzio "versions" ?
probably Evolution with Aftermath, D-Sonic with Nailbomb
BK Aftermath is similar to wich pickups from other brands? and the nailbomb (ceramic)? just for curiosity <3
Ceramic Nailbomb I'd say Distortion, and Aftermath SH-5 Custom for sure
wich pickups do you have in your rg550 yellow ibby ?
Holy Diver and Vh2

Is bare knuckle Holy Diver based on the Seymour Dunkan Jeff beck model ?

music man bfr koa or jp13 ?
Majesty
What strings and what gauge would you recommend for Djent/prog? Ibanez Iron Label 7 string
¯\(°_o)/¯
What pickups would you recommend for an Alder bodied guitar with a 5 piece rosewood/ebony neck, ebony fretboard and a Claro walnut top? I'm looking for an HSS configuration
As always depends on tuning, genre, tonal preferences. Knowing just woods means nothing, but seems like yours is a bright guitar, I'd definitely go with Holy Diver bridge to make it more balanced and sing properly
hey man..I am struggling whit my alt picking..I am practicing of course...Any tips and exercises you recommend to improve it ?
TONS of exercises and discussion about posture and the mechanics of picking motion that cannot be put in words, a proper lesson would be needed. Plenty of exercises out there but very rarely someone mentions the way they do it in detail.
Thoughts about Josh Christian? I think the guy is a fucking legend!
Fuckin legend indeed. Too many insane players have been forgotten nowadays

I want to start writing my own music, should I learn a bunch of scales and mess around with accidentals or how would you start or find your own sound ?
If there was a theory book on how to have your own sound, everybody would be famous :) theory and scales can help, but they won't make you sound more different than anybody else.
Listen to a lot of music and "internalize" it, play as much as you can and keep the stuff you come up with that transmits you something. If you have your own voice, it will cut through :)
