You could check out William Kanengiser's two instructional DVDs; and/or Charles Duncan's book 'The Art of Classical Guitar Playing'. Neither are recent,
but both are very good.
Nail shape and macro-smoothness can make a big difference, and "pushing"
the string inward, toward the soundboard, is essential to getting a good sound,
IMO. For me the acid test is playing on the open high 'e' string: if you can get
the sound you're looking for there, you can get it anywhere. I like to start
with the a-i-m-i RH pattern.
