I haven't bought it yet, but Sol attempted to teach me how to do some of his "chicken picken" stuff when he was here visiting me last summer.

I can attest to the fact that he is a great teacher, but the "No hard work!" bit is off. It can be learned, but it does take work, and a lot of practice. Like anything, some players will pick it up in two seconds, and others will take 2 weeks, but I have no doubts that it can be learned.
