Narrative:
Cleared runway 10L at B5 and went to ground control. Instructions were 'right on B; south; Q; P. As I turned on B it looked like the signage directed to turn left; but that put me on T not B. I had my [airport chart] out but misidentified where I was. I should have had the first officer help me find the way.
