Derek Sherinian - Exploring The Wurlitzer 200A (Part Two) Van Halen "And The Cradle Will Rock"

[@geraldhartley]

Dang! I was hoping to hear you play it with the Flanger too!! 😂

[@stringbender11672]

Awesome. Wish you would have played the entire song!!!🤘😎👍🎸🎹🎹🎹

[@AllenGarberGuitarFun]

Very cool. The vintage MXR Flanger was only used on certain accents with the Wurlitzer through the Marshall, similar to the way Eddie used it to accent certain portions of the guitar riff to "Unchained". The settings on the flanger were all at 11:00 with the exception being the last knob on the right (Regen.) set all the way full right clockwise.

I would love a longer video (3-4 minutes) of you improvising something for us

[@fmbighair]

Absolutely such a tease lol

[@JoseFuentes-fn3dl]

I have a Wurlitzer console. The tone is nice. The lower octaves are nice deep tones. Not clunky or metallic pinging. Much better then their reputation suggests.

[@fmbighair]

Wow, thanks for the heads up Derek! I would’ve never known if you hadn’t. But watching the vid it TOTALLY makes sense because I know he LoVES the piano, his first love! At the very beginning I thought it was “bad company” by Bad Company.

[@BossLayday1]

Could you do a video of you playing the so g from overhead so we can see how to play it? This is amazing

[@milesfifer171]

The intro was eddie pounding on the console of the keyboard with the flanger on. I would like to see someone play the whole thing all the way through. Just remember Eddie use to turn everything wide open. So dont get scared as its ripping your face off. Hahahah. Thanks for the vid.

Best rock keyboard sound IMO i wish he had wrote another one with it..was like the Doors unique sound

[@DaryllHurst]

I have the .mogg files from Guitar Hero for this song and I don't think it's a 'blend' The left side of the track is strictly the Wurly and the trem picking guitar stuff is on the right side. He didn't blend another guitar with the keys, it was just on the other side of the stereo image. So, yeah. I guess a blend over the stereo track with guitar and Wurly but as far as the rhythm track is concerned, that's all keys.

[@stringbender11672]

I agree

[@jeffunchained84]

This Is Amazing! Thank You For Sharing This. #VANTASTIK

[@451dskots88]

Ahh... The wurlitzer. Built right around the corner in tonawanda ny.

[@raymin1974]

Nice Video! Nice BLS shirt!! 😗🤘🏻🎸

[@MRCATL3]

Swear, biggest VH fan and never new this was keys. Thought he did it all on his guitar!!

[@docnasty74]

Sounds a bit like something from The Warriors soundtrack?

[@alanmartino5488]

Good call

[@97warlock]

The INTRO is Guitar though mainly. You can actually hear the momentary pick slide. Its 1-2-3-4-5-6-Slide-1-2-3-4-5 done with perfect timing ofcoarse.

[@danielabilez3619]

Right! Show us your stuff. You got something Skippy

[@jimmyfigueras4476]

A beauty, i prefer the wurli over the rhodes

[@PuertoRicoDJ]

wow

[@noctis26206]

what's the title of the song played as an intro/outro in this video?

[@TheSentinel909]

Day of the Dead :)

[@abohsukampret]

Day of the Dead, from his 2004 solo album Mythology.

[@Yeseniaschick]

Can you play the intro? I always wanted to know how it was played.

[@drewbizdev]

Are you still interested in how the intro was done?

[@Yeseniaschick]

Of course. That’s my favorite part.

[@ZakiWasik]

I'm pretty sure that's actually a 200 and not a 200a :)

[@adamziolkowski2549]

Agreed
