Music Question

[infrogmation]

So when I call a tune in B-flat (for the horns), and the electric guitar player asks "What key is that for ME?" what do I tell him?

Is there a handy link to a chart of whatever this is about?

Yeah, I wanted a serious answer. I'm an ear player with no music theory education. In the jazz and brass bands this has not been a problem for me, but I was subbing in a rockish band; the electric guitarist was the leader. I took my cue from him, but at the end of the set the audience wanted a "Second Line" number and he turned to me to lead it off.
