Help with guitar

[wolfy]

   One day last week, a couple of friends and I were doing a "garage band" type thing, and one of them say hes going to play rhythm while I play lead. He asked me if I knew B sharp scale(or something like that). He said to play this scale because he was capoed to the third fret. Also he said that capoing to the third makes it B sharp.
   
   I don't really understand why putting a capo on the third fret makes it B sharp, and what kind of scale would go along with a rhythm guitar capoed to the third while I'm not using a capo at all?

If I played a guitar, I'd be sure to tell you.

Well it goes green-red-yellow-blue-orange, so the 3rd fret would be yellow.

a2+b2=WTF?

In honesty, I don't know.

[_Rave_]

I don't know any scales aside from the pentamic to be honest. :c

A capo just makes the lowest note you can play the 3rd fret of any string.

Are you sure your friend knows what he's talking about?

[wolfy]

Well, hes played longer than I have... But then again, I may have misunderstood what he said. Even the drummer knew what he meant... >:(

Really, what needed to know was how do I play lead with a rhythm capoed?

Oh, a capo is a clamp that holds all the strings down at a specific fret.

No, what I mean is he is playing rhythm capoed to the third, and I'm playing along as a lead guitar.

So...learn the scale?

[wolfy]

I couldn't find it anywhere, and yes I looked on the internet... I'll wait till I see him again. :P

You might want to consider getting a learner's book or something.
