"Does this sound like anything you have tried? Others? "
Seamus, most of us have done this or are doing it. In almost in all cases, you will learn a lot. In almost all cases, the music you make will be inbred. You can't help that if you're the only source. My personal music was hugely improved by bringing in others to play other parts.
Here are some tips:
If you plan to overdub, get a metronome or some sort of drum track device and begin practicing with it. It's very frustrating to attempt an overdub without a solid time base. Humble yourself to the mistress of good timing.
Don't think that one more acoustic guitar track will solidify a weak bunch of previous attempts. You'll end up with a messy guitar salad. Go back and record a solid track.
Have fun.
