So far I have a decent understanding on measures, beats and the different music notes, (whole notes, quarter notes and half notes)......I'm a total newbie. I can't even really play an instrument yet, though I am learning guitar and learning pretty fast.

Well, I've sorta tried composing my own measures. It's a simple song, with only two chords, but I really like how it sounds, and I wanted to put it to music notes but there's still a couple things I don't get.

Ok, there is a picture to go by.

1. Why are some music notes upside down? Are they the same as regular quarter, half and whole notes or not?

2. What exactly are the different lines for and why are music notes placed on different lines, if like, with my song, you're using only the same two chords?

Thank you!!
