Ciao Francesco dovrei cambiare i pick up della mia 7 corde,ho bisogno di un suono molto versatile sia ponte che manico con gli Humbucker,mi servono che possa spaziare dal jazz al metal e che siano definiti e che abbiano un suono bello sostenuto.Che mi consigli? (100euro max a pickup considero usati)

100 max a pickup direi sicuramente non BKP, prova Pegasus/Sentient della Duncan, in alternativa Dimarzio Illuminator oppure a breve anche i Titan per 7 corde

is namm and musikmesse open to the public or someone needs something like a pass or a ticket to enter?

musikmesse has one or two open days, regarding namm you need a pass afaik

Seems as though you've already aswered a simmilar question....BK Juggs or Aftermaths for a basswood, bolt-on, rosewood fretboard guitar? Goal here is clarity across all strings when playing chords with/without distortion, yet being able to execute the most brutal of metal if needed. Thanks alot

Both will do what you ask, Aftermath will be more pissed off but harsher, Jugg more musical and warm but still super tight.

Ibanez RGA121 (mahogany, maple top), Drop B flat, axe fx (5150/any cab with V30's), looking for a passive, BKP, to fit this tuning, amp, and style, proggy/djentish metalcore ...

Aftermath

bare knuckle rebel yell, holy diver or Jugg for a gibson les paul custom, all mahogany body, maple top...For more versatility ...From rock tones to prog to tight riffing ...

go with Rebel Yell :)

Will an interface upgrade from an Presonus Audiobox to a duet be worth it if I'm only using an axefx through it?

Duet has better pres and it's a better interface overall. Don't think it will make your tone instantly 666% better!

What do you think about alternate picking? Since the beginning I've played with economy picking but one friend showed one guide from wizardofshred about achieving great speed with alt but I don't like it because economy is already hardwired in my brain but I want to play fast

Alternate picking sounds more aggressive and "shreddy", I use economy for certain passages in which the movement is more natural. Each technique has its own purpose depending on fingering

Hey buddy, great music! I have a question, what do you think about the DiMarzio D activator 8?im planning to install them on my Ibby RG8

They are great and way better than the D-Activator 6 or 7, it's a different design. Keep in mind they will leave holes since your RG8 has soapbar-sized stock pickups

I'm going to buy an RG8, which pick ups do you recommend for it? I play progressive metal like Scale the Summit, CHON, etc, in standart tunning and I want beautiful cleans and basses haha. Thanks :)

I'd say either Duncan Pegasus/Sentient or EMG 57/66 as long as they're soapbar-sized.

If I had a guitar with a fixed bridge tuned in E Standard and wanted to go down to Drop C and change the string gauge to a thicker one, would that affect the play ability of the guitar if it was initially setup in E Standard?

Not if you re-setup it accordingly, I think it would just need a trussrod and intonation adjustment. Actually I can go effortlessly with my B6 from E standard to Drop C without touching anything so it should be fairly easy to you :)

Ibanez rgd2127Z or rgd2127fx? I dont like dealing with trems but people say it gives more tuning stability... so do you think it would be wise to get an rgd2127z just for the sake of an 'accordingly' stable bridge?

wait for NAMM before taking any decisions.

I'm going to order a new custom guitar soon (Skervesen) which will replace my UV777. I wonder what sort of (Bareknuckle) pickups you would recommend and if you prefer Floyd Rose or Kahler floating tremolo bridges? I'm one of those old school dudes who still used that thing quite heavily.

I personally prefer Floyd Rose over Kahler, don't like the aesthetics nor the stability of it. Regarding which pickups, you should definitely need to be more specific. Wait for the FAQ section in 30mins to clarify everything :)

I know you teach, if I were to schedule a lesson when you're free, could you teach me anything about lead work? I have been a rhythm player for awhile but I REALLY want to get into lead work. If so, how would you get me started? :)

Starting this year I do teach full time so I'm always available for lessons, just hit me up via FB message for details. And of course I teach lead work :)

man, how do you deal with Internet hate? I just posted a video and got some of it and I feel really down :(

I would be lying if I told you I haven't been through it. You know what the truth is? Years ago when I was starting to put out videos and stuff, some folks were writing bad comments out of nowhere. It happens to everybody who displays himself or his work publicly, and I had a taste of it.
It hurt at first, but during the years I've seen, heard, read sooooooo many fucked up stuff around the world (just talking general, not even related to music or me) that I've almost completely lost hope for common sense in human beings.
Nothing that happens around surprises me or affects me anymore, I became a cold hearted robot because of the idiotic behaviours I see everyday. I'm just happy to do my music and if people are inspired by it or enjoy it, then I'm even happier :)
Look at this pic I've just taken, random comment on our drummer's Behemoth cover: http://bit.ly/19DajlS
I would never NEVER understand why someone would spend time of their life on stuff they think is bad, by criticizing it so rudely. Also it's very obvious that our drummer owned the song, and his comment only makes him pathetic.
It's like you seeing dog shit on the street, what do you do? Do you scream "omg dog shit ewwwwww this shouldn't happen I'm so angry now" or do you just keep walking? Here's your answer.
Also you should put it in perspective: would you ever receive such a comment from someone good and talented? No, because he wouldn't waste his time on that.
I have no time in my life for bad stuff, bad feelings and drama. If someone doesn't share my view, whatever. If someone is disrespectful to me, I feel bad for them. It's just words, not something tangible, not facts. Care only about facts and focus on the good aspects of life :)

Best of 2014 out to ya!!! What is your take on Carvin Legacy amps?

I've tried one briefly two years ago and was absolutely fucking impressed. So good for leads, it was almost "speaking" to me!

I'm very shy boy....when it comes to record a video or play in front of some people i can't focus on my work and i miss notes or play wrong notes because i'm super emotive person. When i'm playing in my bedroom i'm very confident....so what should I do? Consult a psychologist?

It's all in your mind, you need to have the right mindset about it. Gain confidence in yourself and your skills, don't give a fuck about anything that happens around you. Showing weakness only makes it more noticeable. I've surely been through it but I think lots of social interaction and taking care of my body helped with that a bit.
Also it might sound stupid but even if you're super emotive inside, "fake" confidence and stay as calm as possible. Also breaking news: people don't care that much about mistakes, or at least definitely much less than you do :)

per te per registrare in buona qualità senza spendere tanto?:)

Aspetta che aggiungo la sezione FAQ stasera e avrai la risposta :)

do you recommend any software that can isolate different tracks and or even slow down complex/fast guitar parts?

There is no software that isolates tracks completely, not even super advanced filtering :) Although here are single stems of various songs you can find online, google is your friend. There's a cool app with stems, which as of late has Periphery songs too, cannot remember the name though.
Every DAW should be able to slow stuff down, I use Ableton. Searching "slow down audio software" doesn't hurt though :)

when you're endorse by a company does they send you their product for free or you still paid for it?

It entirely depends on the contract/agreement you have with them. It's technically never for free though, since you still have to provide them lots of exposure as well via your work (live/studio/video/media/etc).
Endorsing is a two-way thing, always!

This is really simple and basic metal, with no guitar noodling. Would love to hear your honest views on this. Cheers and thanks! https://soundcloud.com/reverrse-polarity/reverrse-polarity-rar

Among the stuff I've received since yesterday this is the best one. It's fucking great, I love the guitar/bass/drum tones. Vocals are good but I would have put them louder/wetter in the mix to make them shine more. It's even recognizable and personal, nice blend of some stuff I like. Good stuff man!
