I would suggest taking lessons... Let me take you back a year ago. I was a pretty good guitarist, I had been playing for about 5 or 6 years and I decided to try classical guitar. Well, I could never get it to sound like the masters. I, being a college student, decided to take a beginners classical guitar technique class. We went through Shearer's book, starting from the basics... I knew scales, chords, etc, so that was a breeze, but wow, did my right hand technique need some work. That book alone couldn't have helped me, but the teacher showed me what was wrong with my performance and corrected me. I don't think that without him that I could have made it.
"You must stab him in the heart with the Bone Saber of Zumacalis... well, you could stab him in the head or the lungs, too... and the saber, it probably doesn't have to be bone, just anything sharp lying around the house... you could poke him with a pillow and kill him."
