a trick i learned a while back is to put a sock or something over your
hand (to stop friction burn) then grab the cable reasonably tightly
and pull it through from one end to the other, untwisting any major
twists as you go. the heat from this will do a similar thing to the
boiling water, but saves mucking around (may not be quite as effective
on a really bad cable though).
hope this helps

Sorry about the off topic post. I just figured
there would be people
able to answer that here. I want advice on straightening a guitar patch
cord. I tend to pace and walk around when I play my guitar standing. My
patch cord seems to be all curled up now.
It is not tangled there is just so many curls in it now that it curls
all up every time I try to straighten it. Does any one know how to solve
this or do I need to just buy a new one? In the past I just put up with
it until I purchased a new one. Is there a way to get the curling out?

Put it in near boiling water - not the ends though! - until the plastic
softens, then quickly hang it up with weights on it till it cools.
Alternatively hang it up, then run a hair dryer over it - be careful not
to scorch the cable!
