A triad would probably work well for that kind of sound (w/ distortion): Try an Augmented Triad, Diminished Triad and Minor Triad:

Diminished:
E|--------------------------------------------------------------
B|--------------------------------------------------------------
G|--------------------------------------------------------------
D|---0--2--3--6---3--8-----------------------------------------
A|---2--4--5--8---5--10----------------------------------------
E|---4--6--7--10--7--12----------------------------------------

Augmented:
E|--------------------------------------------------------------
B|--------------------------------------------------------------
G|--------------------------------------------------------------
D|---2--5--4----5--444--8--7--11~-----------------------------
A|---3--6--5----6--555--9--8--12~-----------------------------
E|---4--7--6----7--666--10-9--13~-----------------------------

Minor:
E|--------------------------------------------------------------
B|--------------------------------------------------------------
G|--------------------------------------------------------------
D|---1--4-3~---33--7---6---------------------------------------
A|---2--5-4~---44--8---7---------------------------------------
E|---4--7-6~---66--10--9---------------------------------------


Hope this helps you out - just pay close attention to the chord pattern, they can be used the A string as well, if you want to use on the D or G, you have to compensate for the different tuning of the B string (too lazy to make tab of that, just move whichever note on the B string up one half step).
