Question:The same thing as barring (barre). As in using a barre chord instead of a capo.

Example: An F# is a barre chord which is played by "bridging" the 2nd fret with your fore finger and making an E chord formation above it.

In music, the bridge is a section of music adding contrast to the repetition of the rest of the piece.

It's the bit of music that 'bridges' one verse to the next. Just a little bit of music that joins one part to the next.

In playing, it is holding the finger flat to play the strings as they are tuned - like putting a temporary metal barre across them to tune it up.
A bridge in music is a set of steps between one set of notes or chord to another.
