* * <- What are these for?

[hot_for_teacher]

Im learning a song right now, and in the bar it has these two stars
( * * ) inside it, does that mean to reapeat the bar over again?

[The Fury]

Yeah, one on top of the other means repeat, ie: play until you reach a bar with them on and then go back to the section that begins with them, if that makes sense.

Like this:

e:-¦¦------------------¦----------------¦-----------------¦¦
B:-¦¦------------------¦----------------¦-----------------¦¦
G:-¦¦-*----------------¦----------------¦---------------*-¦¦
D:-¦¦-*----------------¦----------------¦---------------*-¦¦
A:-¦¦------------------¦----------------¦-----------------¦¦
E:-¦¦------------------¦----------------¦-----------------¦¦


Repeat everything between the bars marked with a *.
