I have watched countless guitar videos in my life and I have never heard someone pronounce the term “barray.” Just “barr.” Nice vid tho apart from the novel pronunciation. Novel to me at least.
You can try 100 tricks but the bare truth is that the inside and sides of your finger are not a straight line. Combining this with strings that have different thickness the conclusion is that always playing a perfect barré is impossible. If you have thick fingers the extra soft tissue will help you, if they are thin you're out of luck. I try to avoid the barré or at least limit it to 2 or 3 strings. I rarely use a full barré. The muscles and bony parts of your hand are not made for great forces. Any prolonged static muscular contraction is unhealthy. Hyperextension, suggested in the video, can ultimately result in a non functioning joint. I will never do that. If you want a perfectly straight finger, correct the anatomy with tape. You can laugh at it, but it works and I do that every now and then.

Do we know the name of the second piece Anton Baranov plays? 20:37
Thanks. Would be great to identify which lessons these fragments came from so we can go look at the full versions.
Very important for all guitarists love feedback on my original neoclassical guitar instrumental

It is the correct pronunciation from the original French term - barre (e acute accent which I can't type here).
