Create a new layer and make a selection sized 780x30, fill the selection with #52A1C4

Now apply this Gradient Overlay:

3. Shine

Create a new layer and select the main bar layer (CTRL + Click Layer), now edit the selection down 1 pixel by going to Select > Modify > Contract in the menu

After that get the gradient tool and get the Foreground to Transparent gradient

From the top of the selection make a gradient into the middle area like so:

Now a much smaller gradient at the bottom:

Set the layer mode to Overlay
