i cut my DH's hair and even tho his hair is thick and a pain to cut even for stylist i manage ok with a pair of clippers and some patience... it also took practice...
we usually start by deciding where the bottom of the fade/taper should be... then i buzz his hair up to that line all the way around his head...i generally do one side and then the other and meet in the back so i can make sure both sides are even...
from there i start on one side of his head and taper the same way. One side at a time and meet in the back...
i don't know if i can describe exactly how i taper but i'll try... i generally start at the bottom where the hair is shortest and use the clippers to cut a rough fade/taper... then i slowly do this over and over, taking layers off until the hair is the way i want... i hope this helps.. i'll try and answer any questions you have...
