Hello! Iâm not native on english, Iâm constantly learning by pretty much exposure (english must be the universal language so itâs everywhere). I did a quick research about this expression (this is beyond Google Translate 
) but I thought of asking it here. Anyway, what does this expression âpay dividendsâ means? Justin says on the video at 3:16
Hi Renan
If you put some effort into it (money into a company (but than insecure ;Resp. Roger 
) ) you will get extra in return 
Greetings ,Rogier
Sorry but what did you said here? 
it means that your efforts will be rewarded in the end
keep practicing and you ll see results 
Sorry for my distraction, I wanted to say a little too muchâŚ
'Resp â should stand for âanswer fromâ and my name is RogerâŚ
Speaking of "Dividend Payments " are almost only used by companies here in my country 
The phrase âpays dividendsâ is an idiom. It essentially means something produces good results or benefits later, often after effort or investment. So you can probably see how this relates to practicing guitar in the correct way.
in terms of the phraseâs origin: in finance, dividends are payments companies give to shareholders as a reward for owning stock.
Hope this helps!
Paying dividends comes from investing money is the stock market.
In music it means if you spend time learning something you will get something back in your playing.
For example if you spend time learning scales it will help you when improvising later.
Living and learning thank you all 
Hi Renan, I also learnt the meaning of this idiom here in the Community
No way, really? 
Youâve had all the help you need.
Hereâs another way of describing the same âŚ
Whatever you put in (time, effort, money etc.) you will get equal or more out in return.
Sometimes the thing put in and the thing you get out are measurable, quantifiable (money paid as a dividend on an investment for example). Sometimes they are difficult to define (becoming a âbetterâ musician for example).
and now itâs a regular part of my vocabulary 
Youâll be reaping the rewards when all those hours of practice are finally bearing fruit
Just like reinvesting your dividends in your stock portfolio. Reivesting what youâve learnt into your playing pays compounding interest.
Just learning something for the sake of learn doesnât play anything unless you learn it well enough to use it.

Maybe take it one thread at a time ? 
This place can be overwhelming at the best of times. 
There you go @TheMadman_tobyjenner, throwing a turd in the punch bowl.
I think that Iâve never heard or read this english word âidiomâ. My native language has âidiomaâ which means âlanguageâ 
Music can be idiomatic too. Think on that.
An idiom in music can have two meanings: a figurative expression used in language with a musical theme, or the style of writing specifically for certain instruments. Musical idioms, like âface the musicâ or âstrike a chord,â are figurative phrases that donât mean their literal musical sense. In classical music, an âinstrumental idiomâ is when music is written to suit the specific capabilities and limitations of an instrument.
