Here’s a great variation on our basic “pedal steel” bend position, and we are using the 7th in this case as what I call a “leading tone.”

This is a subject certainly worthy of its own lesson, as we now have a whole new perspective on chord work after the last few lessons on open G tuning. And open G tuning offers a lot of interesting variations in chords, especially since we now have three D notes in three different octaves, and we’re in G!
