How right you are, but as you can weld with acetylen you have already made a big step.
With TIG an important point is to have a good rest for the hand holding the torch to keep a short arc steady and move along at a constant speed. Personally I always glide my (gloved) hand along a piece of wood set at the right place, it doesn't get hot. Of course it takes time to put everything into place but it's worth it.
