This transcription is extremely accurate, far more accurate than any tab version I have seen, however it is missing a fair chunk of music. The missing section is from 1:42-2:46. However, I really cant complain, because I picked up 2:07-2:46 by ear and with some tab, and it was much easier than the rest of the piece. I omitted 1:42-2:07, but it didnt detract from the piece. Many recordings of Wootens live performances of Classical Thump contain the omission of that section and others. The markings which indicate right hand plucking/thumping are extremely useful, and they presented ways to arpeggiate certain parts that I wouldnt have normally considered. The piece is extremely difficult, and poses a lot of challenges particularly due to Wootens right hand technique. I was able to learn this piece over a couple months, working about 1-3 hours a day on average. Its a tough piece, but playing it is very rewarding
