Nah. Once get them solidly under your fingers your good to go as long as you keep playing. Even if you stop for awhile, it's only a few weeks to get the strength and agility back. However, there's A LOT of slug time at the beginning.

In Wakeman's case, you also have to know how to put it all together, which he obviously does.
