Two thoughts: 1) the guitarist could use a bar (correct term not known) to raise the chords he plays to a playable key for you; these things clamp around the neck and a bar lays across the frets raising the open strings by one half step per fret; 2) retune the guitar to allow him to play in "your key."
Another thought--why not get better (or at least tempt fate and try)??? Learn the "blues" scale on A, have your friend play the blues (or bluegrass) in G, and your in business: A, C, D, D#, E, G and A. Just improvise some riffs using only the "blue sclae" notes and you will be surprised how well it works. It is almost impossible to play a wrong note if he sticks to traditional blues chordal patterns. Bluegrass is not the same as Blues, but it is worth a try if you both are willing to compromise a bit. But try to play in A and let him play in G--it is a good compromise of keys for both of you.
