I have figured out All the notes up to the second G above the clef on the clarinet, but I have some music that goes up to the second B. Does anyone, know where I can find the fingering for that???

The Woodwind Fingering Guide at
http://www.sneezy.org/wfg/
uses the following scheme to describe notes.
The lowest note of the clarinet is E1. All the notes above this are also labelled 1, up as far as Eb1, until you get to E2, which is the bottom line of the stave and the note
got with the left thumb and index finger holes covered.
Using this system, the clef G is G2, so the G you are talking about is G4. The Woodwind fingering guide lists
fingerings up as far as G5 in the Alternate Fingering section.
Up as far as C4 is considered the standard range for a
professional clarinettist.
As you go higher up, the notes get harder to play, and there are more and more alternatives. You have
to try out a few to find ones that are in tune on your
instrument.

Hey, sorry to hear about your troubles. You can find your fingering problem in your music book that you started out with. If you can't find it use the octive, your thumb and your first index. If you want to go up higher just bring up your index.
