For me, posting on YouTube is sort of like blogging. It’s more of a creative outlet than anything. I like to play the guitar, and I like weird guitars (Exhibit A & Exhibit B), so why not show off my weird guitars?
Made a playlist for that:
Which ones do you wanna hear?
Back in the day, I used to go to websites, message boards, chat rooms, or forums, & blogs. Now it’s mostly Facebook groups.
I’m a simple man. When not enjoying real-life things like family time, noodling poorly on the guitar, drawing mazes, or watching some funny or sci-fi-ish stuff on the TV, I enjoy reading things on the internet. This would include subjects like guitars, gear, guitars, music, Star Wars, guitars, guitars, and surprisingly enough …Guitars.
Picking up a theme? I’m in some guitar groups of varying purpose, from celebrating the instrument in general, to celebrating ugly ones, celebrating cheap ones, celebrating unique ones, alternating between building camaraderie or trolling between fellow guitarists, and making fun off bass players & drummers. I may have G.A.S. – It’s gotta be a real thing.
After a while, you start to notice a repetitive pattern of seemingly-canned responses.
At first, I thought of a drinking game. But, I’m too old for that, and I’m currently on antibiotics. Ha ha.
Bingo then? I made two crude BINGO cards with some free online help from My Free Bingo Cards and Bingo Baker,
It may seem light a slight, but it’s not. I’m in there. I have said the thigs. I have typed the things. I have read the things. I have heard the things. We all have a common interest. This is a celebration of you, & us. 🍻
How quickly could you get a line, or even fill up the card?
What responses have I missed?
Please, elaborate in the comments.
What would go on your Bingo card or cause you to take a drink?
What do I need to add to my pin boards?
I would love to hear what you have to add.
What are your favorite places to discuss and ogle guitars on Facebook or online in general? You can even share some of your favorite guitar photos or memes in the comments.
You may want to take a look at the Guitars & My Guitars categories here at the blog.
It’s important to stay creative and have multiple creative outlets.
Drop me some absurd haiku in the comments.
With the world plunged into chaos due to COVID-19, it is important to remember other ways to keep safe.
🏊♀️💩🏊♂️
Thankfully, the CDC has your back! They also have secured the services of a graphic designer that is nothing short of a hero.
Diarrhea will never not be funny. Well, maybe if you lived at the time of the Oregon Trail it may have not been funny.
Diarrhea makes me laugh. Pizza Hut and Taco Bell jokes make me laugh. Remember the Pizza Hut maze and tweet? Government makes me laugh. Twitter makes me revile in disgust, but also laugh.
I wonder if the government or Yum! Brands will reply?
I once got a proclamation about food allergies from then-Governor Ed Rendell containing the word diarrhea and I was ecstatic.
This was equally exciting.
Can you dig it? Complete one. Post it in the comments or on the social media platform of your choice, and tag me. @AiXeLsyD13 is usually it.
Did you see part one? I felt like posting all my guitars online simply for something else to look at, and I thought others might enjoy.
I still plan to blog about some of the more interesting ones. Hopefully you guys enjoy the content. Thanks for the likes on social media. I don’t think anyone else started to use the #AllMyAxes hashtag. Oh well. Ha ha.
Show me some of yours in the comments, tag me on social media, or use your own hashtag!
Since the world is a bit strange right now, I decided I wanted to see more guitars on social media. Maybe it’ll start a trend, maybe not.
I like classic guitars, I like modern guitars, I like classy guitars, I like ugly guitars. I like guitars. I like playing them. I like looking at them online. I like looking at them on my wall. I like looking at them in the store. I like hearing them. I like arguing about them on the internet. I also like other assorted stringed instruments.
Maybe this will make the world a little brighter. Maybe people will like these guitars. Maybe people will argue about these guitars. Maybe absolutely no one will notice. Who knows?
Below the collage, here are the ones I have posted so far via Instagram with the #AllMyAxes hashtag, minus today’s. The rest will be in the next post. This is the bulk of my guitar collection. The rest of the stuff in the house are my ukuleles and mandolin, the wife’s ukuleles, and the kids’ guitars and ukuleles.
There is a little bit written about each guitar if you click through to Instagram or follow me on Facebook. I hope to blog more in-depth about each of them, or more than I have in the past anyway… reaching out to some manufacturers and designers, especially for the most interesting ones.

Want a bonus video of my daughter and me playing a short snippet-sized cover of the Ernie and the Berts classic “Everybody Poops?” Of course you do!
Lots of people have some extra time right now. Take the time to challenge yourself with this maze. I drew it on graph paper. The paths are very small. I would love to see someone tackle it.
I scanned the original & left as-is, then played with the brightness/contrast a bit on a second one to try to get the blue grid out.
Print one out & give it a try. Or, try it out on your mobile or tablet screen.
If you do finish it, post it & tag me on social media. I’m @AiXeLsyD13 on Instagram & twitter. You can find me if you look on Facebook too. You could even post it in the comments.

Drew a maze in color with some Sharpies. Don’t normally do that. Enjoy if you’re so inclined. Print & solve or solve on your screen with an art or notes app. Share a solution here in the comments or on social media, & tag me: @AiXeLsyD13 (on Twitter & Instagram)
I shared a photo on Instagram & Twitter earlier, this scan is only slightly better.
I won’t get preachy here other than to say stay informed, follow the best practices, and wash your damn hands. I have posted plenty of that on Facebook.
Print, solve, & re-post!
Print it & complete with a pen, pencil, crayon, marker, or whatever. Then take a photo & post it on your favorite social media site, and tag me; @AiXeLsyD13 (Twitter & Instagram)
You can even download it & use a note app or one like PicsArt on your phone to complete the maze, then share it too. Share it on Pinterest. Lots of people are looking for stuff to do right now. I’d love to see how far this (or any of my mazes) can go.
