   Fingering in the key of B

   A lot of bluegrass fiddle is played in the key of   
   B, but none of my instruction videos talk about   
   how to finger the notes in that key.  In just   
   looking at the positions on the fingerboard of all   
   the notes needed in the major scale, it appears that   
   either the first or second position will work OK.   
   Which alternative do most fiddlers use (at least   
   most of the time)?
