Indexing lists within a multidimensional list

I know I have to index the following lists: [0][2][6]

I just don't know how to do that.

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"],
]   
trio = [0][2][6]

for group_member in musical_groups
    print(", ".join(group_member))

You could let the program determine what groups to print by testing the length of each list before you print it. An "if" statement would be good for this. You won't need "trio",

And the "for" statement seems to be missing the colon at the end.
