Soloing for the Lead Impaired

[voodoo_chile]

Maybe my title is a bit of a misnomer, but I do have a soloing question:

 

I can solo over a blues progression, but how do I solo over a progression where the chords change faster than that, like a song my band does now (in 4/4) that goes:

 

A (4 beats)

 

Bmin (4 beats)

 

C#min (2 beats)

Bmin (2 beats)

 

A (2 beats)

E7 (2 beats)

 

repeat forever

 

sorry i don't know how to put it any simpler than that, thanks

All of those chords are from the A major scale.

All these chords' notes are in the A major scale.

 

If you want to do some stuff to make it a bit more interesting and fairly simple still, you could play a d major scale over the first two bars. A and bmin are contained in the key of D (As well as A but we're gonna treat it as if it's in D). The rest of the chords in the progression are in A major. So play D major scale for two bars, then A major for the last two.
