At fret 14 I do a forward bar slant, using only pedal A. Lloyd Green uses this chord change a lot since he doesn't raise string 7 a half, nor does he lower string 6 a half to obtain a G note. You can get the same chord by doing a lap steel technique like Lloyd Green.
The most important thing, which took me years to understand, is to position the tip of the bar EXACTLY between strings 4 and 5 on fret 14. The rear of the bar will slide down and be on fret 13. Use pedal A only. This is an awesome chord, which you can hear me play at 0:03 in the video. The chord doesn't always have that twang to it, but it is frequent and I like it. This song is Farewell Party by the way.
