I'm confused here, can someone help me?

Can some tell me how i can start?

groups.py 
musical_groups = [
    ["Ad Rock", "MCA", "Mike D."],
    ["John Lennon", "Paul McCartney", "Ringo Starr", "George Harrison"],
    ["Salt", "Peppa", "Spinderella"],
    ["Rivers Cuomo", "Patrick Wilson", "Brian Bell", "Scott Shriner"],
    ["Chuck D.", "Flavor Flav", "Professor Griff", "Khari Winn", "DJ Lord"],
    ["Axl Rose", "Slash", "Duff McKagan", "Steven Adler"],
    ["Run", "DMC", "Jam Master Jay"],
]

Start by writing a loop that will go through the list, one group at a time.

Inside the loop, print out the group using the "join" method to format them according to the instructions.

That's a start, but you won't need to keep track of group numbers. "member" is perhaps an odd name for the loop variable, since it will represent the group lists (one at a time).

And when lists are nested inside each other, the levels are sometimes referred to as "dimensions". The outermost list would be the "1st dimension", in this case the list of groups. What it contains is lists of members.

I'm really confused what i'm supposed to be doing here. What is the 1st dimension? There seems to be a lot more rows that is implied in this question.

The join lists was probably the most confusing part of the course so far for me.

Is this even a start?

group_number = 0 for member in musical_groups: #join something? group_number += 1
