It likely refers to making a "barre" with your index (first) finger across the strings, just behind a fret, causing each string to sound clearly at that fret. Making a barre with your finger is like clamping the strings at once.

What is the pitch of an electric guitar?

do a harmonic on the last fret which by last I mean closest to the neck pickup on the high E string so if you got a 24 fret guitar your highest note would be a variation of E in standard E tuning. On a 21 or 22 fret guitar it wouldn't sound as great but it would be your highest note. to do a harmonic lightly press your finger on the string and hit the string with your other hand , some people can do harmonics without moving their fingers off the strings how lightly they press but the second i hit the note i lift my finger off.
