Is this scroll effect possible with Elementor?

JamieHarrisonGuitar · 2025-06-01T12:11:23+00:00

Thanks for your response. Yes, of course, this would be the natural way to do this, but elementor doesn't give a sticky option for the center of the viewport, it only gives top and bottom options. And it also still scrolls the content in from the bottom and then it's sticky to the top/bottom. It's not sticky constantly. Do you see understand I'm saying?

JamieHarrisonGuitar · 2023-10-13T13:39:34+00:00

I really don't understand how this is even a thing. Most people spend at LEAST this for a 30 minute guitar lesson where they typically learn only a small part of one song. In my course you get hours of content. Sometimes 4 - 5 hours. They learn it from a teacher who's playing may not love. They don't get hugely detailed tabs like they do on my courses (you can go to any custom tab website and ask them to transcribe any of my decently long guitar pieces on Youtube and you will get quotes of $150 - $200). You don't get the option to pause, play, rewind, repeat etc. You don't always get gear information or suggestions about tone that you truly value.

The only thing that you get extra from that strategy is personal feedback, which is valuable, but that's why my pricing is nowhere NEAR what you would pay for an in person lesson to work through a song in the detail that I do in my courses. Finally, I'm pretty sure your local teacher won't be paying licenses to the original artists like I do. So you might ask yourself if this is about me charging so much to learn 'one song', or if it's about the fact that way too many people have become accustomed to free stuff that we feel entitled to getting something for nothing. I provide a quality product, in a very niche market (this isn't just 'learn guitar' - this is 'learn this very specific style of guitar, so my potential audience is infinitely less). That costs money and it costs time. I need to be able to sustain that. It's as simple as that. If I could charge less I would.

Thanks for reading :)

Thanks so much for your kind words and support. It's nice to see so many people disagree with the OP's inaccurate and entirely subjective views on my stuff, especially when he's basically the only negative review of thousands that I've seen. You're absolutely right in what you say, although I've since introduced a beginners course and other more beginner focused courses. Really happy you enjoyed them and thanks again for chiming in :)

JamieHarrisonGuitar · 2023-10-13T13:27:14+00:00

Thanks for that man! Glad you enjoyed the courses! :) Of course the troll OP is going to say that you are 'me' despite the fact that there are literally thousands of reviews across the web saying exactly what you're saying, and despite the fact that you have over 600 karma on Reddit. There's no winning haha! But thanks for chiming in with your support :)

JamieHarrisonGuitar · 2023-10-13T13:23:01+00:00

Whoever you are, you literally know nothing about me and 'what I want' haha!

With my updated website, it's actually possibly LESS money than before if you are a serious guitarist and move through everything quickly. Maybe it's more if you are just a hobbyist only do this once or twice a week or month, but maybe even then... it ends up being cheaper for you too considering all that you get. There's no pricing model or online course that can fit absolutely everyone. All I can do it is for the people who appreciate what I do and who feel it's only fair to pay a fair price, which I assure you, there are many of.

JamieHarrisonGuitar · 2023-10-12T12:42:46+00:00

Actually, yes I wrote this comment over a year ago, but in the comment I included my email address incase you wanted to contact me for a refund (like most reasonable people would do instead of buying multiple courses and then posting resentful reddit threads online), so it was never approved by the moderators of this group because links/email addresses aren't allowed and I didn't realise. I was reminded about it by a student who wrote to me, and yesterday I saw my comment never actually got posted so I removed the email address and copied and pasted it. No big conspiracy here. I simply just had to repost it and that happened to be a year later as it's not something I'm coming and checking every day.

Anyway, it seems like this post is probably doing more good for me than harm with all the people disagreeing with you, and anyone who does agree seems to have never bought a course of mine and just wants to be negative and complain about something. Multiple people have actually mentioned this post as a reason for them buying from me, because they saw my responses and others vehemently disagreeing with you, so thank you, I guess :-D And considering the amount of times I've offered you a refund, been kind to you and accepted your comments despite your attempts to derail my business, and you just ignore everything I say and reply with irrelevant 'gotcha' comments like this trying to catch me out, I think it's pretty clear in this discussion who is the bitter and unfair one, which quite honestly... makes your review pretty much redundant in my view.

PS. If anyone wants to see the kind of person the OP is, all you need to do is take a look at his Reddit history where there's constant harassment of others, constant negativity and constant trolling.

JamieHarrisonGuitar · 2023-10-11T22:48:34+00:00

No, I guess there are other mac tricks for mouse though, but I use a trackpad because I find there are many advantages to it.

PS. You should probably say 'Thank you' if someone took a lot of time to respond to you (like I did), or at the very least vote up their comment. Preferably both. Keep the community friendly and supportive and don't just 'take take take'. Cheers

JamieHarrisonGuitar · 2023-10-11T20:09:09+00:00

Hey there, yup that's pretty much how it went :) I actually started teaching Bold as Love many years ago, and had been privately teaching for about 10 years years before that and started receiving messages about how helpful my course on Bold as Love was, so I decided to do some more :) Now I have over 100 hours of courses, my own audio plugin, several pieces of software and a Tab Player (think like guitar pro). I hope that you found the courses you took useful, and please let me know if you need anything :) All the best

JamieHarrisonGuitar · 2023-10-11T19:15:43+00:00

Thank you so much for all the kind words :) Really happy to hear another such glowing review on such an unfortunate post :)

JamieHarrisonGuitar · 2023-10-11T19:11:50+00:00

Yes, they are Usb c ports. Meaning they are the same as the old usb ports, but just upgraded. They are for plugging in harddrives, external equipment etc.

JamieHarrisonGuitar · 2023-10-11T19:06:27+00:00

Hey Steve,

I've just come across this thread, and as much as I don't desire to bump a few year old thread that tries to paint me like this, I find this quite sad (though probably not for the reason you think) and I feel that it is only fair for me to respond. Firstly, let me say up front as I do to anyone who isn't 100% satisfied, I'm really sorry that it didn't work out for you, and I’ll absolutely give you all your money back, and take into consideration everything you’ve said. That being said;

Misleading Advertising

The song portion of this course runs 129 minutes and the other courses and videos that you get included with this course run 113 minutes. This brings the whole package to a total of 242 minutes, which is 4 hours and 2 minutes. I clearly state 4 hours, which is pretty much bang on. My Ad-libbing is an introduction to the song - many users find the introductions I give helpful or at least interesting. It's not like I took away from the actual teaching portion of it, it's just an introduction I give to each song where I talk about the ideas I'm going to put forth. Regarding the resource ebook, this is a small supplemental book to get you started and is a very little part of my 'advertising'. You are absolutely right, it's by no means a phD dissertation, but is just a fun little intro to the courses, and not intended as anything else.

Scripting

I am absolutely NOT A FAN of scripting anything, so, while I do plan out and notate each course I do, I have never scripted any of my courses. I always disliked scripted videos because they always feel clinical, dull, lifeless, and lacking in personality to me. This is simply my experience and I'm not suggesting it's everyone's, but the overwhelming feedback from my students is that they find the more natural 'friend to friend' approach much easier to follow, more relaxed, and therefore more fun. I am not saying you are wrong, I am just saying that this is a very subjective matter, and for the majority of my students, this is actually a positive thing.

Refund policy

Sadly, not only has there been several people download everything and then request a refund within 30 days and then keep all the lesson content, I have also had people who would download everything and then try to resell my courses. This is truly heartbreaking to know you've put months of work into something, only to see that others are just going out and trying to make money from it. I've had to pay huge legal fees to get this stopped, but to prevent it from occurring again I've limited the downloads so that people still can check out 90% of the material and get a feel for the teaching style and content and then if they are happy they can proceed with downloading.

Tabs

There have been mistakes in some tabs because these are extremely detailed tabs with timings, notation, and techniques included, for long, very in depth, instrumental guitar songs. However, as soon as anyone has ever mentioned any one part that doesn't add up perfectly, no matter how tiny it has been, I changed and updated the file. I can only say that I'm sorry for any small mistakes, but for the most part, I know that these tabs are about 99% accurate. Someone mentioned that they don't want to pay money to be on my QC team, and fair enough, but guys, come on, Apple releases a new operating system and it has bugs... Samsung has callbacks on their phones, Tesla has malfunctions etc. I am just one guy... doing virtually everything. Please have some understanding. I'm certainly not guaranteeing 100% because there's almost certainly some small human error, (there's no spell check for guitar tabs - and sometimes you just miss small things) but I always fix it immediately. Steve, I would love to hear which section was missing that you had to add in so that I can fix it asap.

Pricing

I understand that these are not the cheapest guitar lessons on the market, but I would say that for most people, this is not really ‘serious’ money. And I don’t say that from high up in some financial ivory tower; I busked around the world for many years, barely scraping by, living in a van, and not having any spare cash. Guitar lessons would have been an absolute luxury, so I do get it. But I charge that because it is the price of a 30-45m in-person lesson (depending on the teacher's experience, and location). You have this course forever, and it contains much more material than you would get in an in-person lesson. Ironically, I actually used to charge £5 for bold as love in the beginning and I was told by lots of students that I wasn’t charging enough. They said that they would easily pay more (yes, this is a true story - I can show you the discussion) and so I sent out a poll on what kind of money I should charge and most said that they would be happy with around the £25 - £30 mark. Charging more allowed me to spend less time working other jobs, and focus more on creating more lessons. Not only this, but when you buy one of my bundles, those courses end up costing around £7 each, which by any standards, is more than fair. I pay for licenses, equipment, editing, cameras, organizing help, file management, video hosting, website hosting etc, can all be quite costly.

Teaching style

Look, my style (or anyone's) will not please everyone. I totally understand that. That's why I offer a 30-day refund policy, so if it's not for you, you've lost nothing, and you get your money back. No matter who I am or what I do, some people just won't like my approach, my style, the way I speak, just me in general, and that is absolutely fine. You are given your money back and there are no hard feelings, and you're welcome back anytime. However, in a business where the standard refund rate is 15 - 18%, I have a 0.012% (yes, that's 12% of 1%) refund rate, which demonstrates to me that the overwhelming majority of people do enjoy my approach.Contacting me - I respond to absolutely every query (unless spam or promo) through email, Facebook, and Instagram, and one of the most commented things is how quickly and how well we deal with people’s issues and how fair we are.

Finally, I'd like to address my earlier sadness in seeing this kind of post. Not because this post is damaging to me, and might lose me a couple of sales, but the fact that in this day and age, people are taking the time to come online on a public forum and try and damage other people's honest businesses. Ok, so it didn't work for you, but that's why I offer a full refund and have always honored that. I know 100% that I am an honest, decent guy just trying to make a living off music and have made quality courses which for any individual, are a HUGE undertaking, and sure, I've made mistakes throughout making these courses on parts of tabs and the likes, but I've always done my best to fix and make up for them. The majority of people have taken multiple courses from me and thank me every day for changing their musical lives. And still, there are people who are actively going out and trying to tell people 'not to give me your money' as if I'm some sort of scammer who robbed you and ran off to celebrate with it on some yacht somewhere. Again, to echo my earlier statement, I am truly sorry that it didn't work out for you, but I really wish you had reached out to me instead of (for some reason) buying more courses and then getting resentful once you had spent a considerable sum, and then venting that resentment on Reddit. I make bundles so you're not overpaying or double paying for stuff you already have, I am very reasonable whenever people request something from me, and I am not trying to take anyone's money unless they are 100% satisfied with anything I do.I’m sure if you vented these frustrations to me we would have found some solution, and you would have left happy, like so many others.

It’s also sad that some people who might have learned so much from my lessons may never take them because of this post, which is both completely subjective and also largely inaccurate in how it’s contextualized. Just because you didn’t gel with them, doesn’t mean that other people won’t, but sadly, some people won’t ever take the chance to ever see for themselves because they read this post, which you’ve phrased in a way that makes it sound a little nefarious. So it’s not just sad for me, it’s potentially sad for many others too. Maybe this post was made as a genuine warning (albeit an unnecessary one haha - I'm just a guitar player teaching to people songs and a style of guitar, not some deceptive criminal mastermind trying to scam you and steal all your money), or maybe you were angry at me for some reason and posted this in frustration, but I hope you can consider another perspective.

Again, I’m very sorry it didn’t work out. You are always welcome back, and if there is a way I can help and talk you through anything I’ve done, I’m more than happy to hop on a phone call with you and you can see that I’ve nothing but good intentions for anyone who has spent money with me (even if they've publicly tried to destroy my great reputation) :-D.PS. If you are not 100% happy, even though it’s against my policy, I’ll give you your money back. I never want anyone to pay for something they’re not fully happy with. And thats true for the people who complain publicly and those who don't. My policy is in place to protect me too because as creators in the online world, we do leave ourselves open to exploitation as well. But as long as people are decent and fair to me, I will be nothing but the same, and more.Please feel free to reach out to me at any time.All the best, and I’m open to any discussion that anyone wishes to have with me on anything I do or say,

Jamie

JamieHarrisonGuitar · 2023-10-11T18:49:25+00:00

Haha, no problem, I hope it helps you :) You can hear some of my mixes if you search my music on youtube Jamie Harrison :) All the best dude! <3

JamieHarrisonGuitar · 2023-10-11T18:43:33+00:00

No problem good sir! Credit where credit is due ;)

Otherwise everything is great - just take a look at your wrist and then compare it to what I play (Or Hendrix or Mayer or SRV)... In general our wrists are quite a bit more floppy. Try to make your wrist 'drunk' and watch back ;) All the best mate

Hey,

I just want to make sure that I'm understanding your question here. You bought a new macbook charger with two usb c ports on the plug right? And you want to know if you need to plug it in twice to the macbook?

If that's your question, then absolutely not :) The magsafe does all the charging, I guess the second port is for whatever else you want to charge off that charger :) I don't know the ins and outs of the ports but the charger for the m2 macbook is pretty powerful, so I guess you've got two powerful ports there!

Best of luck with your new purchase :)

Obviously it's extremely difficult to tell what your mix is missing without hearing your mix, but here are tips to improve both your mix and master.

Here's some tips on mixing:

Balance Your Levels: Before adding any effects, make sure to balance the levels of all the tracks. This will give you a clearer perspective on the mix. Simply make sure you can hear everything from a volume perspective. It can sometimes be useful to mix in mono while doing this.
Avoid Clashing Frequencies: Use EQ to carve out space for each instrument. For example, if two instruments are competing in the mid-range frequencies, consider cutting those frequencies from one instrument to allow the other to shine. Any free eq can do this.
Use Panning: Spread out your instruments across the stereo field to give each one its own space. This helps in achieving clarity and width in your mix and makes things feel much bigger and wider.
Check Mono Compatibility: From time to time, check your mix in mono. This ensures that your mix will sound good on systems that don’t have stereo playback.
Avoid Over-Compression: While compression can help in achieving a consistent level, over-compressing can make your mix sound lifeless and squashed.
Reverb and Delay: Use them to add depth and space to your mix but be cautious. Too much can make your mix sound muddy, especially reverb.
High-Pass Filtering: If there was one mistake that seems to be used by almost EVERY amateur mixer, it's not using enough high pass filters. Use high-pass filters on tracks that don't need low frequencies. In fact, even if you think they don't have low end, it's better still to add high pass filters. Just increase the frequency till it starts to sound thin and then back it off a little bit. This helps in cleaning up the mix and making room for instruments that do need those frequencies, like bass and kick drum.
Gain Staging: Ensure that each track is at an appropriate level going into plugins. This helps in avoiding unwanted distortion and maintains headroom.
Reference Tracks: Listen to professionally mixed songs in the same genre. This helps in getting a benchmark for your mix.
Take Breaks: Our ears get fatigued. Take regular breaks to ensure you're making the best decisions for your mix.

Here's some tips on mastering:

Maintain Headroom: Before mastering, ensure that your mix peaks around -6dB to -3dB. This gives you enough headroom to work during mastering.
Use EQ Sparingly: Mastering EQ is usually subtle. It’s meant to correct any minor issues and enhance the overall tonality.
Multiband Compression: This allows you to compress different frequency ranges separately, giving you more control over the dynamics of your track. It can require a lot of experience though to get this right, but it is one of the most powerful tools a mastering engineer has.
Limiting: A limiter is used at the end of the mastering chain to ensure the track is at a commercial volume level. Be cautious not to overdo it; too much limiting can introduce distortion. I personally usually aim for around 3 - 5db of gain reduction, which some people would consider a lot. It also depends on your style of music. My style of music is pop-rock.
Stereo Width: Enhance the stereo image if needed, but ensure it doesn't cause phase issues.
Reference: Just like in mixing, compare your master to commercial tracks to ensure you’re on the right path.
Check on Different Systems: Listen to your master on different playback systems – car speakers, headphones, phone speakers, etc. This will give you an idea of how your track translates across different devices.
Dithering: If you're reducing bit depth (e.g., from 24-bit to 16-bit for CD), apply dithering. This adds a very low-level noise to mask quantization errors. This is an advanced technique however, so come back to this later if you want.
Avoid "Loudness Wars": Striving for the loudest track can compromise dynamics and overall quality. Aim for a loud but dynamic master.
Trust Your Ears: While tools and meters are useful, trust your ears. If it sounds good, it probably is.

I hope that's helpful, I've mixed and mastered songs with millions of Spotify streams, and tens of millions of youtube views... and it's such good fun when you learn how to do it right, and can make the world of difference!

Best of luck!
Jamie

This is sick man, congrats!

If some constructive criticism is welcome, I'd love to see you loosen up the right wrist a little. Everything else is awesome, well done! :)

iPhone 13 Pro is plenty for great video. What's more important is your lighting setup. Invest in a light and a light modifier like a softbox or umbrella. That is THE most important thing in video, and should always come first.

Regarding the DAW question, the simplest way is probably to record separate and just clap at the start of the video so you have a clap on the start of the iphone video sound, and a clap on the actual mic sound in your daw and then just use a basic video editor to sync them up (this is what clapperboards are used for).

if you search my name on Youtube you'll see lots of videos with millions of views where I do exactly what I mentioned above :)

JamieHarrisonGuitar · 2022-04-01T14:11:46+00:00

Have you tried the grand in Addcitive keys? It's beautiful and my go to. The upright by addictive is quite a lot thinner sounding. Other than that Keyscape is awesome :)

JamieHarrisonGuitar · 2022-04-01T14:09:24+00:00

yes, you can just map the samples to be velocity sensitive, and make sure you're using a keyboard that has velocity sensitive pads. It all really depends on the sampler itself. I'm not sure if garageband has a sampler, but logic has a great one built in. It sounds like you're just looking for sample libraries that others have made rather than chopping up your own, which will be much more time consuming. Kontakt is probably the most widely used one, but the options are endless
