guys, Ive been working on this for some time and Im just wondering how the heck did you guys learn these chords on the harp from memory.  I dont think Im dumb but memorizing the chords with the holes on the harp as they are is one tall order for me. 

Im trying to play the chord notes along with a study song as a learning mechanism.  I have them laid out on a spreadsheet in colors by I IV V etc.  Thats a good visual but its still has to be branded in your head.

Any other study techniques you have used?

Not an expert

Im not an expert but I would think what you might be looking for is in LOA6 Music theory  3 Section 4. I'm not sure I fully understood your question but hope this helps.
