The lambda code to the Guitar Tuner skill we are building

hi,
I tried to use this code but getting an error: "There was a problem with the requested skill's response", every time I try to test it.
Can't really figure out the problem since I'm new to NodeJS. Please help.
Thanks

How to add a yes/no intent to this code? So it can repeat the note?
