1. Start with a knife that just lost its edge not one that has never been sharpened
2. hold a lower angle than you want, if you rock up that will be the angle on the edge
3. start with the right grit of stone, never move on to a finer stone until you have established an edge.
I can't cover everything but I cover it all in my DVD Beyond Razor Sharp, and I have youtube videos as well that cover most of what you need to know to get started.
I hope that helps, my site is mtknives.net
