learning music in 2 weeks = hard

learning jazz in 2 weeks = damn near impossible

Yup

But heres a couple of sites that might help which you could have found in the Various guitar related sites at the top of the forum but instead your a lazy bastard. I'm just fucking with ya.

This one should help with learning standard notation:http://www.dolmetsch.com/theoryintro.htm

And this one should help with jazz: http://www.outsideshore.com/primer/primer/index.html

Good luck. You certainly have your work cut out for you.

The music probably has the chords above each bar.

If not...I suggest quitting.

When i joined jazz band at my school it was exactly like that. I somewhat could read the music though. and the time sigs was easy to figure out just by playing with the rest of the band

Its usually basic chords (espeacially if you just signed up for it without tryout) and the sheets always have the chords writen over the note.
