Here is an example of an easy one to learn that sounds pretty cool and can help you decide if you want to pursue more.

This is stone age ( I prefer pencil/pen and paper) and because of this I have made it simple.

Here'goes and I hope it helps:

Last three strings.

This is played in the third fret position**but as all closed patterns go it can be played anywhere. Find out what is most comfortable for you**

Numbers represent frets and numbers in () represent "suggested fingering".

Use a down stroke to hit each note and let ring.
**recomend playing very very slow at first to really hear the notes**

Slide from 6 to 9 (pick or Hmr On).

Pick again but in an up-stroke (legato or pick) back down.

Done! :D

E l-----------3-(1)-(sld)--6-(1)--9-(4)--6-(1)---------------
B l-----5-(3)-----------------------------------8-(3)--------
G l6-(4)------------------------------------------9-(4)-6-(1)

This is even more archaic. But I also like to see patterns --it helps you visualize what you are playing--"be the ball" (what movie/movies?)

Here is the Pattern


E l-3-l---l---l-4/6-l---l---l-5-l---
B l---l---l-2-l---l---l-7-l---l---
G l---l---l---l-1/9-l---l---l-8-l---


Closed "box" pattern. Numbers represent the order that the fretted notes are played.

Hope it helps.
