I play a little guitar.  It's about this big!  Har!

There are certain areas on each string where you can gently place your
finger & pluck to get a finging, kind of chime-like sound.  Think of the 
beginning of "Roundabout" by YES.  Those are harmonics.  You don't 
fret the note as per usual, you basically just rest your finger on the string
*above* the particular fret & pluck.  They're fun!   

The term might take on a different meaning when it comes to chords, I'm
not sure.  I only play a little guitar!  

Also, OX does some bass harmonics at the beginning of that version of
"Empty Glass" on the WHO ARE YOU CD reissue.  Bing Boong Bong!
