My guitar tuning head knob for the 3rd string will not tighten and the string is below the standard tuning. It will not tighten no matter how hard I twist it.

How can I safely fix this without breaking anything?



Answer
It's probably broken and needs replaced. The repair is quite easy. You'll need a replacement knob - take the broken one to a music store and ask for a replacement - a screwdriver, and a wrench or pliers. Be careful to not scratch the guitar's head or the metal on the machine head. If you're unsure whether or not you can do this, let a tech do it for you. Shouldn't take more than a couple of minutes.
