Maybe I should have replaced that "it" with oxyacetylene(gas welding)?
Otherwise I am really lost on why you are confused.

It always possible, but every teacher I have ever had starts new TIG students off on oxyacetylene. Im not sure how holding a MIG torch with one hand as it spits out filler and stays at a constant amperage would teach you a damn thing about TIG welding.
