Tarantino Improvised a Musical Scene and Told His Star to Learn Guitar on the Spot

Daisy Domergue's guitar-and-vocal performance in The Hateful Eight was not in the script. Tarantino invented the beat during rehearsal and asked Jennifer Jason Leigh to perform it live. She didn't play guitar — so she had to learn. The scene only exists because a director trusted an in-the-moment impulse more than the written page.
