I looked for a clip of him playing his Guild X-700, but, aside from The Blues Brothers clip, couldn’t find one.
Here’s his signature blues, in memorium.

It's rare that celebrity news makes me feel anything, but this one seriously bums me out.

Here's one of my favorite pics of him with a Guild:

Google > Memphis Slim & Matt Murphy - Matt's Guitar Blues

You'll then get treated to a wonderful YouTube video. Got hooked on Memphis Slim's piano around 1971, and Matt "Guitar" Murphy was Slim's guitar player for many years. Still love this stuff!
