Hello guys, I'm kind of new at this and Lately I have been comming across Crazy sheets that uses this.

That it's a fast Example, please don't blame me lol So..

Black is Example 1
Red is Example 2
Blue is exambple 3

I know about that one that can connect a note with the other making them join
But that one it's always on the same Note line "C____C" But Serioously i have seen Those crazy lines all over my traning sheets and they don't ever bother how it works and how you are suppuse to play.

And just for the record I can't also understand this lesson at all

I also forgot to add this:

I know about the note values, the circule one, the Black one, the white one with a dot next ot it. BUT WHAT ABOUT THE one THAT IT'S BLACK<- with a dot next to it.
I know about the one with a dot up of it, you play it as if it was hot, half of a time of a normal black one.

And yeah.. there it's alot I don't understand

For the last 4 lines, which were easier to understand:
A dotted quarter note is 1.5 beats. A dot on the end of any note adds half the value of the note to it. Therefor, a dotted half (white) note is 3 beats, as you claim to know, and a dotted quarter (black) note is 1.5, if you're music gives quarter notes the beat. (ie, if it is anything over 4 timing- 1/4, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4 etc). Which is the norm, I find.
By the way, the dot over a note is called a staccato, but you are right, you play it quick, as though it is hot.

I have a lot of trouble with your diagrams, so I'm kind of guessing what you're asking in the first part.
(I believe this is your 'black example)
A line covering more than one tone is a phrase marking, or slur. It means to play the notes legato, without much definition (I play wind instruments, so I only really think 'tongueing', which doesn't really help you) between them. Like tied notes, only they change.
I have no idea what the blue and red lines are... Maybe if I saw them in context of the music though.
