Javier Mercedes I’ve lived this many years and until this very day I didn’t know how to coil a cord. The garden hose has been a pain but now I bet it’s going to get tamed. Thanks dude.
If you're here because you've been yelled at, criticized, or bullied because of the way you wrapped a cable, we've all been there, and we're here for you. 😌
I am sad to admit that I have played music my whole life and been gigging weekly for the last 10 years and have never learned to do this correctly. Thank you. No telling how many cables have suffered at my hands
Oh dear god, thanks so much for making this video. I have been having the hardest time grasping the wrap, even when someone shows me how to do it in person. Being able to see how its done from this angle was a game changer, and i got it almost immediately. bless
Same for me. The angle really helped and he jumped right into it without saying how he's had his cables for 20 years and everyone else doesn't know how to tie their cables (like every other video)
Over the course of six months, I have been unsuccessfully taught this method by many of my coworkers. I’d wrap the cables eventually, but I was bad at it. This video quite literally immediately fixed the issue. Just gave me that little click in my brain.
Ahh, that tip on "the cable wanting to move the other way" is a very helpful tip! Also, the tip of "letting the cable roll on its own on the first loop" 👍🏼
Hey, just wanted to drop a note. Really appreciate you making this video!! I work in sport broadcasting and teach people all the time how to do this. I send them your video all the time and tell people to watch it for reference after I have showed them how to do it. Great video and thanks for sharing!
Thank You so much! Started new job today and new boss tried explaining this method with a 200ft of cat5 and for some reason my hand/brain struggled with the under and I felt really dumb..just watched your vid and almost immediately im doing it perfectly...thanks again!!!!
Wow! Thank you! I think I finally understand. Shooting this from your POV was -brilliant-! I'm an old man and I've been playing and fiddling with a ridiculous amount of gear since I was a very young man. My cable coiling skills were mediocre at best and knotty at worst. UNTIL NOW! WHEEEEEEEEE!
Thank you for this video - i'm beginning to wrap all my heavy duty outdoor cords from my Christmas display. I just tried it on my longest cord and it looks perfect ⭐
So Im not the only retentive guy! Ive been just doing the over but swinging the entire cable like a snake to take the wist off. Looks good but eventually the wires inside will shift. Thanks so much, Ill be doing this like a freek going forward.
I've been doing it as over only and noticed that when I unwind the wire there are kinks and knots in the wire. I also noticed that the wire also bends awkwardly when you only do over. I realize now that it wants to be in the under position! Thank you.
In college I didn’t learn the under technique; I learned just over but you twist counter clockwise to combat that weird twisting it does. Idk if that way is “wrong” but this looks safer? Time to re train my muscle memory 😅
I actually love this.. I actively searched UA-cam for it to help me out after a gig. Yet when it’s 1am when you’re packing away and you have a 3hr drive ahead of you just to get to your storage lock up, all this goes to hell 😂
I do the same thing but with a twist! This is so important! The only problem is once you learn you'll be cringing at everyone else wrapping things up😜😂😅😜 thanks again as always for the knowledge
Wow, this is the third time I have sat down to learn this. Your video is the only thing saving me from a lifetime of feeling like a total failure 😂 amazing. Thank you! POV FTW lol
I literally just did this with 100 ft extension cable and I pulled up this video to show my dad how to do it because I'm too tired to do it again lol, fantastic video
I'm terrible with tying anything at all, including shoelaces, gifts, and knots, and I've watched three other videos, and this guy finally nailed it quickly for me.
Holy crapp, I need to learn this. I’ve been wrapping my cables for all of my devices wrong and I put the end through the middle then tape it😭 no wonder it always tangles too. Definitely gonna try this
This angle is much better and explained better than the dudes from the ground just saying this is how you do it but at least those guys raised awareness to it and made me curious. Thanks for sharing
Over under kind of implies that it's always going to be alternating but my cable seems to mostly naturally wrap in overs with only the occasional under? Is this because my cable is messed up from months of doing it wrong? Or is that fine?
i genuinely had to laugh when i looked at my cable after you said "if you did this properly you should be able to let this go without tangles" lol... great video
Thats the standard technique, I learned a different way that doesn’t have the phantom tangles in music school. Guess I have to do a video to share the love.
Been doing this for many years and decided to look it up again because I swear no one actually seems to have an answer for how to throw an over/under wrapped cable you didn’t do yourself, or that has been stored for a while and potentially moved around a bit. Not sure Velcro ties is the answer really, unless I’m missing something. I still get knots when throwing one about half the time.
I'm right hand dominant (guitar and piano player) and I can't feed into my left hand to save my life haha. You should do another vid with a cable that doesn't already have a ravel-wrap memory for folks with no experiece/not theater kids/not musicians... so they can see it done from scratch. Great vid. thanks!
That’s why I wanted to show it from the POV angle, it is the closest to representing what wrapping the cable “feels” and looks like. Glad you got the hang of it!
As an Audio Engineering student I used to escape those cable winding sessions as I was unable to do it. I just wound my cables right for the first timer today. Thanks a lot! ❤️ Do such more videos!😅
Live a tangle free audio cable lifestyle :) Leave a thumbs up if it helped!👍
Javier Mercedes I’ve lived this many years and until this very day I didn’t know how to coil a cord. The garden hose has been a pain but now I bet it’s going to get tamed. Thanks dude.
@@whatsupdate Just wait until you vacuum the next time, wrapping cables will never be the same :)
This is the best video demonstrating the method. Filming it from a first-person perspective is genius.
Flicking the wrist is exactly what i needed, no other video talks about that.
If you're here because you've been yelled at, criticized, or bullied because of the way you wrapped a cable, we've all been there, and we're here for you. 😌
Wow, loving the new profile pic Genki!
You're not alone mate 🙄
True I thought I knew I didn’t haha
Got yelled at today so here I am learning how wrap a cable
I can DEF relate🤦🏾♂️😅.
I am sad to admit that I have played music my whole life and been gigging weekly for the last 10 years and have never learned to do this correctly. Thank you. No telling how many cables have suffered at my hands

The way you show how the cable moves on its own is really helpful to explain others how and why you should do that.
Thanks that guy!
Wow this vid makes it so easy to understand!
The first-person perspective really helps! Thank you!
Thank you! Great perspective.. because I’m super visually challenged
I always did this! And now you got me confused, but I did it agian, now I locked it in :D
You are the real mvp for doing a pov angle. That makes it SO much easier to grasp.
Very well explained.
This is how every tutorial video needs to be. Straight to the point and explained in a clear manner. Thank you!
You really cared that people know how to do this skill. Exceptional teaching all the way. Thanks for doing what many other don't do.

I send them your video all the time and tell people to watch it for reference after I have showed them how to do it. Great video and thanks for sharing!
Finally I get it. The bird's eye view format of this video is the clearest I've seen and now I understand!
Forgot to say THANK YOU!
This video should have 10mil+ views. Thanks!
Your the man!
Thanks very detailed
Excellent video! All the other videos were 3rd person and impossible to follow! Thank you for a first person perspective
Excellent explanation and love the POV rather than second person perspective
Great video!!!
This five minutes vid would eventually save hours of time and loads of stress. Thanks a ton 😊
Wow - you just blew my mind - that is so darn simple and makes so much sense... Can't way to get home and rewrap some cables Javier!
Glad I could help, hope it is easy to follow!
Thank You so much! Started new job today and new boss tried explaining this method with a 200ft of cat5 and for some reason my hand/brain struggled with the under and I felt really dumb..just watched your vid and almost immediately im doing it perfectly...thanks again!!!!
so cool to hear! glad it helped Robert!

Best video on all of youtube
this is a gamechanger, thanks for making this javier!
There's some people at work I'm gonna show this video to lol
Mahalo and Thousand Thanks Javier! I share this video clip with other local crew who work with me in live sports television.
Best one I’ve seen so far!!!
Thank you for this video - i'm beginning to wrap all my heavy duty outdoor cords from my Christmas display. I just tried it on my longest cord and it looks perfect ⭐
So Im not the only retentive guy! Ive been just doing the over but swinging the entire cable like a snake to take the wist off. Looks good but eventually the wires inside will shift.

Life/Game changer tip!
I've been doing it as over only and noticed that when I unwind the wire there are kinks and knots in the wire. I also noticed that the wire also bends awkwardly when you only do over. I realize now that it wants to be in the under position! Thank you.
Yeah! That's an eye-opening experience to me as well!
Finally! A first person POV video on this technique. Well explained! I get it.
In college I didn’t learn the under technique; I learned just over but you twist counter clockwise to combat that weird twisting it does. Idk if that way is “wrong” but this looks safer? Time to re train my muscle memory 😅
This was an excellent video! I’ve seen this method done but never from the first-person view that is really important to learn to get the method.
I actually love this.. I actively searched UA-cam for it to help me out after a gig. Yet when it’s 1am when you’re packing away and you have a 3hr drive ahead of you just to get to your storage lock up, all this goes to hell 😂
I do the same thing but with a twist! This is so important! The only problem is once you learn you'll be cringing at everyone else wrapping things up😜😂😅😜 thanks again as always for the knowledge
Yup the cringe is real, but it does once people figure it out it helps everyone have a better production. Thanks for watching Yoni.
What kind of Twist?
@@ryyanedit7834 twisting the wrist
aren't you the ableist one.
nice dude! great vid for intro event production peeps trying to learn how to manage cables!
Excellent video,man.thanks.
Wow, this is the third time I have sat down to learn this. Your video is the only thing saving me from a lifetime of feeling like a total failure 😂 amazing. Thank you! POV FTW lol
THANK YOU, I've been struggling with the 'under' concept for so long. Seeing it so well explained and from this POV is a game changer
I literally just did this with 100 ft extension cable and I pulled up this video to show my dad how to do it because I'm too tired to do it again lol, fantastic video
THANK YOU for the FPV it helped a lot
Finally someone doing it correctly
Great video. Thanks
Finally I get it - thanks!
I use to just dangle the extra cable or try to whip the twist out as I go but this technique is a lot faster and less stressful. Good video!
Excellent work Javier! I loved seeing the cable wrapping from your POV and the repetition was very helpful.
legend
The POV shot was super helpful! I finally understand how to coil the cables! Thanks.
Thanks!!
I'm terrible with tying anything at all, including shoelaces, gifts, and knots, and I've watched three other videos, and this guy finally nailed it quickly for me.
Nice 1st person view really love it. Finally learned it. Thanks.
Thanks for this video, I think it's going to help me a lot!
This a nice straight forward video. Thanks for communicating firmly!
Javier Mercedes - Thanks so much; you saved me serious $$ over time.
Loved the video, thank you!
So useful, thanks!
THANK YOU
Holy crapp, I need to learn this. I’ve been wrapping my cables for all of my devices wrong and I put the end through the middle then tape it😭 no wonder it always tangles too. Definitely gonna try this
Thankyou so much! Understood it clearly
I’ve been a professional touring musician for nearly twenty years and have always done the thumb-to-elbow technique
Thanks for this. I need a lot of practice!
This angle is much better and explained better than the dudes from the ground just saying this is how you do it but at least those guys raised awareness to it and made me curious. Thanks for sharing
Over under kind of implies that it's always going to be alternating but my cable seems to mostly naturally wrap in overs with only the occasional under? Is this because my cable is messed up from months of doing it wrong? Or is that fine?
Thank you sm for this! This really helped 🔥!
Thank you so much ❤️, very useful for me : )
That's cool. I have a ridiculously long headphone cable and wanted to see if there's a right way to coil it so I can shorten it. I'll do this. Thanks.
@@divinetiming1005 That's rough.
great tutorial, i succeeded in one try!
Right on! I used to know how to do this but needed a reminder...lol.. Thank you!!
Glad it could help!
i genuinely had to laugh when i looked at my cable after you said "if you did this properly you should be able to let this go without tangles" lol... great video
Thanks!
thank you
Thats the standard technique, I learned a different way that doesn’t have the phantom tangles in music school. Guess I have to do a video to share the love.
It's been two years but I'd very much like to know about this technique
Good stuff, thanks!
Thanks, this is the only video that made sense! The camera angle is key.
Thnx mate
Wow thank you so much for this .

I love you guy, thanks so much
FPP really helped, actually learned it this time
Javier, you're a great person. Thank you for this video
Damn, I've been doing it wrong for YEARS. Thanks dude
Thank you, Thank you 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
What is the end product supposed to look like? I don't really understand the difference between over-over and this.
I'm right hand dominant (guitar and piano player) and I can't feed into my left hand to save my life haha. You should do another vid with a cable that doesn't already have a ravel-wrap memory for folks with no experiece/not theater kids/not musicians... so they can see it done from scratch. Great vid. thanks!
THANK YOU so much!!
For some reason a lot harder than you make it look but I was way over thinking it 😂 once you find the flow it’s a thing of beauty. Thanks!
That’s why I wanted to show it from the POV angle, it is the closest to representing what wrapping the cable “feels” and looks like. Glad you got the hang of it!
Thanx for the upload, But why do you need to alternate between over and under. If either over or under works??
This is super helpful to re-learn; but what about if there are kinks in the cables? I recall that being a hot topic for this art of wrapping.
As an Audio Engineering student I used to escape those cable winding sessions as I was unable to do it.
I just wound my cables right for the first timer today.
Thanks a lot! ❤️
Do such more videos!😅
How are you getting it so neat!? This is driving my nuts!!
This is literally such an amazing tutorial. Thank you so much.
For the under grab the cable from underneath with palm up. Then, rotate rotate hand when going towards coil. No need for flip.
Now I even wrap my loading cable from my smartphone or Macbook like this.
