Nie Jun - at first

In the early 1980s, there was an upsurge of learning guitar in Beijing. It became a fashion for young people to learn guitar, and Nie Jun was no exception. The earliest contact with the guitar began in 1980, when Nie Jun was about a decade old. At that time, he mainly played folk guitar, accompaniment of some popular songs. In 1983, he had his first guitar, Xinghai. It's not enough to have a guitar. You have to find a good teacher. After a friend's introduction, he met the classical guitar player Wang Youmin, who was also very young at that time. Nie Jun originally wanted to worship Wang Youmin as his teacher, but Wang Youmin was a modest and sincere man. Instead of becoming a teacher and apprentice, they became good friends. because Wang Youmin was busy with his daily work and didn't have a fixed time to teach Nie Jun, Nie Jun took part in the training course held by guitarist Zhang Shiguang in Hufangqiao. Mr. Zhang Shiguang is a great guitar master, indifferent to fame and wealth, sincere. after each training class, Mr. Zhang Shiguang has to choose two students to enter the room, and Nie Jun is very lucky to become Mr. Zhang's disciple. In this way, we can follow Mr. Zhang to learn classical guitar professionally, systematically and continuously. Mr. Zhang's words and deeds have a great influence on Nie Jun's life, half on his guitar major and half on his character. Mr. Zhang's teaching is very strict. Because there was no regular guitar education at the beginning of his study, Nie Jun often made mistakes. Every time he plays wrong, Mr. Zhang will be punished by "thugs". at that time, there was a lot of resistance to learning the piano, and his family did not advocate Nie Jun learning the guitar. In a working family, there is no way for him to play guitar. His family wanted him to be a skilled worker. At the beginning, Nie Jun entered the factory and became a fitter, but after a long time, he couldn't practice the piano because of the calluses on his hands. In 1986, Nie Jun resolutely quit his lucrative job and began his formal guitar career. 8 hours a day. Considering that he had no income, Mr. Zhang asked him to be a counselor in the training class, and his family gradually understood his practice. Nie Jun regards Zhang Shiguang as his mentor and father. He always thinks that learning piano from Mr. Zhang is the most correct choice in his life.

Nie Jun - mid term

In 1988, Nie Jun set up Nightingale band in Xicheng, Beijing, which was just a temporary transition. In 1992, together with Wang Youmin, Wu Hua and Li huizhe, he formed the guitar group of "indoor Quartet". In 1992, Spanish classical guitar master Jose Enrique came to Beijing for Guitar exchange activities, and also opened a guitar master class. Nie Jun, Wang Youmin, Wu Hua, Li huizhe and Wang Zhencheng were among the first batch of students. Nie Jun and several friends felt that there was a considerable gap between the guitar skills in China and those in Spain, so they came up with the idea of going abroad for further study. Originally intended to go to Spain in 1994, but failed for various reasons. Finally, in 2000, Nie Jun embarked on a study trip to Barcelona, Spain, for five years. when he came to Spain, Mr. Nie Jun started from Mr. Jos é enriques. Mr. enriques gave a very detailed explanation, including the history, culture and music background of Spain. In this way, when he went to play Spanish works again, it would be easier for Nie Jun to grasp and understand the author's original intention. When he was in Barcelona, Nie Jun often went to concerts to absorb the nutrition of classical music. Through mellowing, Nie Jun gradually integrated his experience and understanding into his guitar playing. different cultural backgrounds lead to different ways of life, different art forms and different angles of thinking. Mr. Nie Jun gave an example to the reporter. In China, buskers may not be respected, but in Spain, buskers are very common and respected, including children. This form is certainly different from the concert, but the artist needs to attract the audience with beautiful music in a short time, and needs many factors such as body, emotion and expression to be integrated into the repertoire. Nie Jun also often plays on the grass in the park or on the street, which is a kind of artistic enjoyment. He often plays such familiar classic works as Romance of love and legend, but he needs to add some fresh techniques. Many pedestrians often stop to enjoy and take pictures with him. In Spain, every time the audience bears the fee, they gently put the copper coin in the pro box, unwilling to interrupt the performer's melody. in addition, Spain was once a country with brilliant civilization, so Spain has a strong sense of national pride, strong optimism, which is reflected in many classical guitar works. Even if it reflects the tragic plot, you can also hear the perseverance quality from it. This is the style of the Spanish guitar, which gives Nie Jun a lot of insights.

Nie Jun - later period

After returning home, Nie Jun has been running for the popularization of classical guitar culture. Recently, he plans to teach some students to avoid detours. In addition, he is planning to set up a band to try to popularize the classical guitar, so that more people can get close to the classical guitar and enjoy it.
