Jenna Ortega, who plays Wednesday in the 2022 Netflix show Wednesday, is seen playing classic rock songs on the cello like Rolling Stones’ “Paint It, Black” and Fleetwood Mac’s “Don’t Stop” during the show.

Here’s a clip of one of these moments:

Even though she was acting and didn’t actually perform the songs- she spent months learning the cello to make the performance more convincing. In an interview with Wired she said:

“I learned to play the cello for Wednesday. I started working on the cello about two months before we started shooting… I probably couldn’t play too well now, just because I’ve been away from home so much, working.”

We’re hopeful that season 2 will bring along more cello takes on rock classics- since fans seem to love them, and Ortega also wants to continue with the cello:

“[it] is something that I want to continue to pursue. I have immense respect for anybody who plays the cello. I think it’s such a delightful instrument.”
