Wurlitzer Piano – 11 Iconic Riffs You Know (But Didn’t Know Were Wurly)

Send us Fan Mail

That “wait… I know that song!” moment — but it’s all Wurlitzer electric piano. 🎹⚡️

In this episode, Andy plays 11 instantly recognisable Wurly riffs as short solo snippets — no backing tracks, no full songs, just the hook. From Supertramp, The Beatles and Marvin Gaye to Ray Charles, Queen and Beck, this is the Wurlitzer doing what it does best: bark, bite, and that warm, chewy midrange that cuts straight through a mix.

Play along: try to name each riff before it’s revealed, then tell Andy your score — and which one gave you the biggest “NO WAY!” moment.
