When I first started learning finger style I just dived in and tried to blast my way through tunes. Whatever mistakes I made I assumed would get better over time, that it was more important to get to performance speed.
And that's wrong.
I've found that I have to go super slow, learn the finger placements while being mindful of how the transitions will flow at a faster speed later (learned through experience - you just can't do anything, it has to make sense positionally). Then once some familiarity is learned with a few measures, work on the timing, the musicality of the measures to see how it all fits.
Keyword = Patience.
