when i perform the F (bar chord) while embracing the neck, it's easier for me to not bar it at all and just ignore the 6th (heavy) string. while embracing the neck, when i attempt to bar it the sound is somewhat muted because i don't have enough push on the frets. however, i can bar it and play it fine as long as i have the thumb position pressing behind the fret while my palm is someone in contact with the neck.

yes it's the same sound. i only strain or struggle rather when i try to play with the neck embraced between my thumb and index. there is no pain.
