If you have an arc/MMA/stick setting on your machine, you probably will, that’s a good place to start so you can understand how the weld pool and the metal react with different amps. It’s also cheaper and easier to mess about with, so good for learning.
Tig is pretty tricky but you get the best results, unless you have someone there to show you it will be a steep learning curve. I’ve been doing it for about 6 years and still learning. There are so many variables and it is very much a skill that requires practice.
YouTube is a great place to learn from, welding tips and tricks probably the best channel for tig welding.
