Hey guys,

I'm trying to sample a reggae skank guitar sample into one of my songs but I'm having a lot of trouble finding the key, the chords, the notes, or anything like that. Is there an easy way of finding it? If any of you would be able to help me I'd really appreciate it!

A little bit of music theory and a spectrum analyser should help you out!
With the help of a spectrum analyser you can see what notes there are playing (The highest peaks in the analyser are your notes). I don't know if any analyser gives you the information about which note is on the certain frequentie, so I recommend Voxengo Span (freeware)

No bill will prohibit me from using guitar skanks.
