Hi everyone, I recently decided to get into 35mm
photography and bought a Canon AE-1 on eBay for £60.
I'm a total fucking noob on 35mm photography,
but noticed that the rewind knob was not
spinning every time i crank the film advance lever.
any help is greatly appreciated.

is there film inside the camera?

And if there is film in the camera, it fell off the take-up spool because you didn't load it correctly. The film is what makes the rewind knob spins. There isn't some insanely complex gear system that links the advance lever to the rewind knob, so if it isn't spinning it's because you aren't pulling film out of the cartridge.

yep, 400TX 36 exposures

The film was not loaded properly and it has detached itself from the take up spool.

You have failed to properly load the film. You need to maybe watch a youtube video on loading 35mm film then try again.
Load the film properly, lift up the crank and turn a little anti clockwise to tighten the film, fold the crank, expose two shots and watch silver bar of crank rotate one third of its circle range. Result? Film is loaded correctly. No movement? Start again.
