Switch to object mode(CTRL+tab→Object). Then select the armature(AKA Rig). Shift+select the mesh. Then switch to weight paint mode(CTRL+Tab→Weight Paint). In newer version of blender you will need to be in bone select mode(3 at the top of the keyboard not numpad 3).

I did that first, but it didn’t let me select the bone

Then you don’t have the an armature modifier on the mesh and it needs to have vertex group checked. You will also need to have vertex groups with the names of the bones created. This can quickly be completed by selecting the mesh. Then shift+select the mesh and press ctrl+p→Either empty groups or automatic weights.

I never use ‘auto weights’, because it screws up my other meshes/models.
also, is there a way I could actually talk TO you, while showing my screen?
