Sqrl, there are some techniques than can help you pass the intro easier. Have you tried to use a rubber band? (well thats more like cheating than technique but it works nevertheless). Also you should also consider taping it, thats how I used to do it since my fingers weren't fast enough to do the intro (now I can without taping). you can aid yourself watching some videos on youtube about how to tap the intro, then practice on slow setting and progressively upping the speed until full speed, will take some time but it is worth it.
