Crossword Genius

Musicians carefully inspect disc (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

combo

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'musicians' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'carefully inspect disc' is the wordplay.
'carefully inspect' becomes 'comb' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'disc' becomes 'O' (disc-shaped letter).
'comb'+'o'='COMBO'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for combo that I've seen before include "musicians" , "Small jazz group" , "group of players" , "Small (jazz or rock) band" , "Small jazz or dance band" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
