Well to me sounds as mix of Spanish deep throat G (si contraire with the Greek, they have H that is harder then G normal, H goes before I and E so it would be gi or ge but in the Greek like in Italian these vocals make it soft Italian would be J as in John but written as gi or ge) and kinda half way of pronouncing French R or German R, normal H (sound) in other languages (well beside Spanish but it is not the same sound) is kinda more clear and before passing epiglottis it is in the end of hard palate I would say and last third of the tounge. I don’t know if this helps. Like this sound is not clear as H and it is made including the throat it comes out from a bit further location. But I guess if you can’t pronunce it listen some German and French R and Spanish H for instance genial is a good word to position the sound. Then you have to just a bit open and modify the sound.
Thank you, I've been struggling with "Γ γ" for a while.
Thank you Anna for these special letters pronunciation. They are difficult for beginners.
Thank you for your comment! My pleasure! ❤️
So γ sometimes has the same sound as χ ?
Not exactly

Hello. I can't figure out the difference in pronunciation between χα and γα. Are they equal by any chance?
for gamma you have to vibrate your vocal folds
Unfortunately they aren’t! Γάμμα is voiced and χα is voiceless
The letter χ "sounds to me like ch sound in German.
