When a number is displayed after a chord, it means that you add that number of the scale of the chord you're playing to the chord as an addition, so actually, note number 8 on a guitar is the same as 1. And a major chord already has the note numbers 1,3,and 5 in the chord. In a nutshell, whoever told you that you needed to play a "b8" doesn't know a thing about Music Theory, because a regular b chord already has that scale # in it. But a B chord would go like this:

-----2------

-----4------

-----4------

-----4------

-----2------

-----2------

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
