I am currently working on transposing keys by using a capo and I'm trying to understand how this would relate to scales. 

I understand that if I capo at the 2nd fret and play a G chord that the chord is actually an A  cord. Now given that the actual chord is an A but the cord shape used is a G, which scale would be used for solos, the G maj scale or the A maj scale?

About a year ago, Steve had a live lesson on this topic:

 

In the dropdown section of the video, there is a link to download the charts:
