Interesting and believable.

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.

Interesting, yes. My major gripe with RW though is that he has only one chop. It's all so bleeding monotonous.
