The Savarez Corums your guitar has will likely be quite good. Keep in mind that the sound you are looking for from that recording is not just strings but guitar and technique. So much of classical tone comes from a lot of practice and proper playing technique. I recently went down the classical string rabbit hole, tried out a whole stack of different strings. What sounds great on one guitar might sound and play horribly on another. For example, a lot of players rave about Daddario nylons. They make my Ramirez sound like a muted cheap pawnshop guitar and play horribly. I prefer the Savarez Cantiga creation mixed tension strings at the moment (which is a mix of three different sets).

As for instruction, if you PM me, I’ll tell you about another option (can’t discuss it on an open thread on AGF).
