Other than the basic mechanics of torch angle, and keeping the filler in the shield gas the biggest lesson I learned was fit up is key. Tight fit up makes a good weld. I found running beads repetitively on an aluminum sheet helpful in the beginning to get the basics, then just stick as much scrap together as you can get your hands on. Keep at it, it's a great skill to have
