Hire an instructor on a taildragger. Ask him to teach you the "wheel landing" technique ("flying" it on in a nose level attitude main wheels first). Use the same technique on any transport category type except bring the thrust to idle as you begin the flare. I believe Boeing recommends "flying it on". Nothing to it unless you are depth perception challenged (and some people are). In that case you will have to rely on the rad-alt callouts. If you wear glasses/sunglasses make sure they are not interfering with your depth perception. I have observed students with cheap sunglasses that caused perception problems.
