Learn Sunflower by Post Malone & Swae Lee!

by David Osborn, M.S.

Learn how to play "Sunflower" by Post Malone & Swae Lee!

Welcome to the lesson for Sunflower! In this lesson, you'll be learning a great song that is really fun to play! Most importantly, you will be learning about 16th notes--what they are, how to count them, and how to play them. This song also provides a great opportunity to work on alternate picking (a very important technique in guitar playing). Make sure your guitar's in tune and let's get started!

Below you'll find 3 videos:

  1. Lesson Video (Part 1) gives a brief introduction to this lesson and covers the first verse and pre-chorus sections of the song.
  2. Lesson Video (Part 2) covers the chorus and second verse of the song.
  3. The Tablature Play-Along Video will enable you to fully master the song by providing an opportunity to play along with it (use the speed controls on the video player to slow down play-back as needed). 

You'll also find the lesson resources (including the tabs and practice audio files) below!

Good luck & have fun!!!
