I've been toying with some arpeggios lately. Here's a few I like: (assuming a C harp) On the V chord ( if playing in G)- Arpeggiate a C# diminished 7th chord. I love the way it sounds, funky in a way. Same arpeggio works if you are playing in d minor. Start on Bb (6 ob) and work down to G, then E, then C#, and sliiiide into d (or something else).
I also like outlining the d minor 7th, and hanging out on the seventh.
I also like outlining a C dominant chord, but not going in order (c e g Bb), more like c Bb g e)
A chord whose notes are presented one at a time successively instead of as a stack of notes sounding at the same time. Also called broken chord. I also add I think it can be done in any inversion. The Harp plays arpeggios in this example

My 2 cents. Actually the word "arpegio" comes from "harp" . Not our harp, the classical one wich in Italian should be called arpa or something like that-
That was because it was the work of harps those days, to outline the chords as you can see in Diggs tune.

I like playing all the arpeggios in the major scale. Playing C E G B (Cmaj7) up and then C F A D (Dm7) down, then E G B D (Em7) and E C A F (Fmaj7) and etc. Can be hard to begin with but helps a lot and sounds good
