You cannot tighten a guitar string without changing it's tuning. If your string is too loose and it is tuned correctly, try buying heavier gauge strings. Lighter gauge strings need to be more loose that heavy gauge in order to oscillate at the correct amount of hertz to get the same note. Heavier gauge strings can remain fairly tight but due to their size, they tend to oscillate slower.
