How to play Rihanna – Breakin' Dishes by Unknown on guitar

This song is a good beginner pick because the groove is steady and the progression repeats in a way that helps you lock in quickly. You get a driving, upbeat feel, and once you settle into the pattern it can sound confident without needing a lot of flash.

You will spend most of your time on barre shapes, with E as the one open shape in the chart. The main change to watch is the opening move from G# to Cm to D# and back to G#, since that shift asks you to move cleanly between shapes without breaking the pulse.

Start by practicing the chord changes slowly, especially the opening progression, until your fingers land in the right place every time. Then add a steady count at a comfortable pace, and only speed up once the switches feel smooth 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.
