No, the sound is like "hair" you should pronounce it recohí.
There are two sound for "G". One of them is like "ganar" (like the G of "gain") and the other is like "general", but you have to pronounce it "henerál"
When a word has a G followed by an U the sound is like with the word "ganar" and the U is not pronounced. Exemples: Sigue, guiso, guitarra, guerra.
