What does Bb mean?

Either I can't find it on http://chordfind.com/ or I'm just retarded.

Been playing for 3 years during HS for my church's youth group worship team, so I know the basic chords which worship songs usually only use.
Never learned scales, just chords and to play them.

Have you learned anything beyond open chords yet?

You've been playing for 3 years and you don't know how to play B flat chord?

Here are two ways:

e--6-index
A--6-index
D--7-middle
G--8-pinky
B--8-ring
E--6-index
(bar index finger)

e--1-index
A--3-pinky
D--3-ring
G--3-middle
B--1-index
E--1 -index
(bar index finger)

EDIT: Well seeing as you haven't gone past open chords I'll add some fingering...

That explains why the B flat is messing with you 😛
It may be time to undertake your next step in the guitar and learn barre chords.
 
That "little b" is the sign for"flat" down one half step.
The # sign is the sign for sharp or up one half step.
These sign will all be on the first bar of music, with the time signature in a group. that Group of signs tells you what key the song is in. You will want to know these by heart.
 
Here's the best way to play chords quickly.

Learn the standard "1.1.2.3.3.1" chord fingering and play that on the first fret (as written). There you've got "F" chord. Now move the whole shebang up a fret, so you're playing "2.2.3.4.4.2." There you've got "F#" chord. Move it up again, and you've got "G" chord. Keep moving up, and you can play up to about "D" chord, which is "10.10.11.12.12.10," which is the highest I would play comfortably.

With this you know 11 different chords (including E, which is 0.0.1.2.2.0), and you don't have to memorize any different fingerings.

It's easier to think of the open E chord and then BARRE behind it as you go up the fretboard. In this manner you know E , F , F# or Gb, A, A3 or Bb, B, C, C# or Db back to E.
or doh rei me fa so la ti doh.
 
Play a B but tune your guitar down 1/2 step. It's hard to do it really quickly, and then re-tune it back up for the next chord again. All those pros just use sound stage cuts and switch guitars a few times during a song.
