How do you play the intro riff?

Heres the tab for it (hopefully it's correct)

el-----------------------------------15------------14-------------------
Bl-------------15--------------------3-------------2---------------
Gl--------------3-------14---12-----------14-----------14--------------------
Dl--12-(14)-------------2----1-------------2------------2------------------
Al---1--(2)-------------------------------------------------------------
El---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(changes to fret 14 after a while)
Fingering in single numbers underneath.

On the D string 14 fret going to the High E string 14 fret(six notes into the riff) I usually play the first note with the tip of my 2nd finger and play the second note with the pad of my 2nd finger like a mini barre.

I can't seem to play some of the notes cleanly and I can't repeat it many times.

How do you play it?

I just meant that I use my first finger for that note on the 12th fet, (fingering in single numbers underneath). I did that so I didn't have to type out what finger I use for each note.

Anyway, thanks for the tip, I'll try it.
