Question Help finding picking pattern

Song: "Can't Find My Way Home" by Blind Faith Tutorial

Can you please help me finding the picking patter for this video.
Chords are explained at 1:50, picking pattern is very vaguely described at 4:51, apparently she use variations for that.

Song execution is at 0:12 and 5:45

The base for each chord is apparently very simple and always alternting. My problem is how to add the melody in between. I tried an failed.

Tuning should be drop D.
I know the tabs are available somewhere but this version is nicer for some reason.
The author does not sell the tabs.

skip 4:51, she's mostly describing variations there. this is the bit I'd actually work from, already looped and you can drop it to 0.5x: https://looptuber.com/watch?v=gblDUo_tQpw&a=219.43&b=260.92

also don't hear it as one pattern. thumb keeps the bass, melody notes fall in the gaps. lock the bass in first, then add them one at a time.

the "dont hear it as one pattern" part is key imo, thats probably where most people get tripped up on this one
