w/r to the idea of being the guitar player, it's called "the flashy demo." If you really want to appeal to a crowd, there are some ways to do it with code. A large cross-section of "indie games" is based around bits and pieces of exactly this dream - make something very eye-catching that gets attention, money rolls in, and then later you get up on stage to take your award, so on and so forth... But even if it came true for everyone, it just isn't the real reward, even for the virtuoso guitarists who actually get that kind of attention hundreds of times a year. If it's not intrinsically rewarding it's going to be another gig and mean shit-all in terms of how you feel.
