I was restringing my acoustic guitar but the strings are hugging the fret,i cant tune it, and it buzzes when i try to play

it hasn't happened before

is there anything i can do so i dont have to take it to a music store?

there might be a problem with my bridge but i dont see anything wrong

you have to adjust the truss rod (string tension) if the strings are too tight slowly and carefully adjust the rod tighter to relieve string tension and thus ridding you of fret buzz and hard to play string height etc.

you should probably either take it to a guitar store, or ask someone who knows about guitars to take a look at it. it's too hard to tell by your description what's wrong with it, and you don't want to take the wrong advice and mess it up even more.

What he said. I completly messed up one of my guitars by trying to fix something I wasnt sure of. It sucked
