I don't play the anglo (which I think is what you have?) but I suggest you should try to get hold of the Mick Bramich book - it has some good tunes and notes about how to play them.

Alternatively, if you are learning "by ear", there are a few jigs on the c.net recorded tunes page:

and:

 

http://www.contemplator.com/tunebook/ireland.htm

 

If you are learning from music, this is a useful site, with ABC notation, and sheet music for the full melody:

Another one is:

Click on the left "tunes" There are over 300 jigs listed.

 

And yet another collection:

Hope it's enough to get you started.

 

Thanks
