Can't select a single bone in weight paint mode

I am following the Introduction to Rigging tutorial on BlenderGuru.com and everything has gone great up until I had to go into weight painting mode. Although it looks like I’ve done exactly what is done in the tutorial, in weight painting mode I cannot select a single bone. The entire armature is selected every time. What am I doing wrong?

Edit: Actually, when I click on a bone, I go into Object mode. Anyone know why?

This is a print screen of where I am right before clicking a bone sends me to Object Mode.


Did you click on the Armature and go into Pose Mode first, before clicking on the Mesh and going into Weight Paint mode?

Sweet, that did it, thanks, Cardinal!

In Weight Paint mode, select bone with [Alt] LMS will put you in right Vertex Group.

click on the Armature and go into Pose Mode first, before clicking on the Mesh and going into Weight Paint.

In Weight Paint mode, select bone with [Alt] Right button.

I am facing the same problem and tried the above solution but cannot still do it
