There are a few things that help a tail look good.
First, the tail should blend into the coat so there should be a graduated transition from the short back to longer tail.
Second, the tail should be shortened a bit when the coat is shortened so that the haircut has balance.
I hold the tail up and brush all the coat down and then take my scissors at a 45 degree angle and cut like I was doing a saw tooth edge. It's important to not be too accurate. If you do it too well, it won't have a natural look. Sometimes I do the cutting first and the brushing after then just trim up the parts that look out of place.
For your dog, I wouldn't hesitate to cut off the old dull frizzy part and then see if you need to shorten some of the other parts of the tail.
