Riha

How to play Riha by Anuv Jain on guitar

Riha is a great beginner song to learn because it moves at an easy pace and gives you a calm, flowing feel right away. You can focus on clean changes and steady timing instead of speed, which makes it rewarding to play from the start.

Most of the chart uses barre shapes, so your fretting hand will need to stay relaxed and accurate. The easier open shapes are C and Dm, but the main thing to watch is the move between D# and Cm, then back into D# and A#m, since that opening progression sets the shape of the song.

Start by looping the opening progression slowly, then add the rest of the chord changes one at a time. Once your fingers know the shapes, practice with a simple steady pulse, and only speed up after each change sounds clear and even.

Use the play-along above to follow each chord change in time with the music, or learn the shapes first with the chord diagrams below.
