You may need to slightly "roll back" your first finger - so the
bony side of your finger (rather than the fleshy "palm" part of
your finger) is doing the barring.
This chord shape has the chord root G on the fourth string. To
learn how to apply this same shape to play other major chords,
you'll want to memorize the notes on the fourth string.

Tip: Try barring your first finger across the second fret of strings
four, three, two and one. Now, lift your third finger off the fourth
fret of the fourth string. Play that chord, and quickly hammer
on to the fourth fret of the fourth string with your second finger.
This is a technique guitarists use constantly to add color when
using this chord shape.
