You are snapping your strings because they cant take the tension of raised B. You have to get different gauges of strings to do it.

That link gives instructions for how to get raised B.

yes, capo 7. It just lessens the frets you can actually play.

I think you caught him in a lie lol. I think it sounds just as good with the capo on the 7th fret plus its easier to play.
