The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame will pay tribute to the “father of the electric guitar” this fall.

Les Paul will be honored at the annual American Music Masters series, a weeklong event that begins Nov. 10, Rock Hall officials said Tuesday. A tribute concert — artists will be named later — is scheduled Nov. 15 at Cleveland’s State Theater.

Paul, 93, is hoping to attend, said Rock Hall President and CEO Terry Stewart. [AP]

See Les Paul live every Monday night.
