Hate to say it Ed but MIG really is easier. 
You will need a tank of straight Argon of course - you can't use 75/25 for TIG.
And you'll need some filler rods as well. Start with steel, and move on to aluminum after you've got the hang of running beads on steel.
I would recommend you use 2% Lanthanated tungsten electrodes for everything. They will work great with your type of machine for all types of metals.
And not an absolute necessity but a really helpful item to have is one of Jody's "TIG fingers".
