Good hookah in tavern for musician (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bagpiper

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

'musician' is the definition.
(bagpiper is a kind of musician)

'good hookah in tavern' is the wordplay.
'good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'hookah' becomes 'pipe' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'tavern' becomes 'bar' (I've seen this before).
'g'+'pipe'='gpipe'
'gpipe' put into 'bar' is 'BAGPIPER'.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bagpiper that I've seen before include "One blows out air" , "Scots musician" , "Player of traditional Scottish musical instrument" , "Pibroch player" , "(Scottish) musician" .)
