It makes me think that I took on a little too much too fast. Is there a suggested path or some lessons on Guitar Tricks to work my way up to their level fully?

Sounds like the Acoustic Course by Anders is what you need to work through. He covers a variety of finger picking patterns from basic to advanced.

Try level 1 first.

If that's too easy, then jump to level 2!

Hope that helps!
