You'll also need a flattening stone - as you use these stones they wear unevenly and need to be flattened. Most people recommend a diamond sharpening plate such as the Atoma 400 or 140 grit:

I had to take a class to learn how to do it - you can learn by watching youtube videos, but having an in-person instructor was worth the cost of the class to me. Check local knife sharpening places to see if they offer classes. If you're in Austin, TX I'm happy to pass on contact info. for the place I went to.
One important lesson that is hard for most people to learn, myself included: when you're learning don't be afraid of damaging your knife. It's VERY difficult to do anything on a stone you can't fix with that same stone and a bit more experience. So, don't stress, be willing to keep at it until you get the feel for the angle and motion that will get your blade sharp.
