| yeah, shorter patch cable is preferred (less chance of picking up interference, less loss and tidier) but guitar cable is fine. The shielding is the wire mesh matrix that "shields" the core wire from picking up stray radio frequency and other electromagnetic interference. Our guitard was agonizing over radio coming thru his amp and no matter what he did he couldn't eliminate it. I suggested he try a new guitar cable. Sure enough, it was a bad cable.
