As part of my forlorn ongoing effort to master this exasperating metal tube, I'm working on arpeggios, but rather than doing it as an abstract exercise, I'm collecting, learning and practicing tunes in which chord formations are particularly prominent. So far I've got the Belfast Hornpipe, the Derry Hornpipe, the Monaghan Jig, the Wise Maid, and the Jolly Seven. Anyone have tunes to add? Especially in G?
P.S. Add to the list the College Hornpipe and the much maligned Irish Washerwoman.

Eeep! Errr, I might make the non-musical suggestion that you not click repeatedly on the submit button or not use back-and-forward arrows through a posting action, or tell it -not- to repost form data, or whatever ...
but then, I guess you've figured that out by now, so this is just a gratuitous poke which you may summarilly ignore.

Try "The Golden Eagle", "Higgins' Hornpipe", and "The High Level Hornpipe". As for jigs, well, "Pay the Reckoning", "The Gold Ring", "The Tar Road to Sligo", and "The Southwest Wind" all have some good arpeggiated bits in them. "The Cup of Tea" has some good arpeggiated bits, as does "The Fermoy Lasses" and "Paddy Taylor's"; not all of these are in g, of course, but they will keep you busy a while.

Woodchopper's Reel and Morpeth Rant are two reels that have extensive arpeggiated passages. There's also an exciting bit in the second part (of 3) in the Mooncoin Jig that's really fun to master.
I hope you can find the tunes-- I'm not sure, but I may have first come across them in "The Fiddler's Fakebook," which I bought at Elderly Instruments in Lansing, Michigan.
Good luck,
Cara

Thanks for starting and contributing to this thread--this is how I want to master arpeggios too.
I recently uploaded a jig to C&S that has a run of arpeggios at the end, called Canyon Jig, on my Reyburn low G.

Sorry I don't have written score of this--I learned it by ear from a fiddler.
