guitar soloing over chords

So if the chord progression is fast, it works fine to just solo in the key of the chord progression. But if the chord progression is slow and you have plenty of time to change it up over each chord, it sounds better if you do so. If I play a phrase over chord 1, I can end it with a chord tone of chord 2 as chord 2 comes up in the progression. So it's like my phrases are resolving on key with each chord change. I'm not sure but I think that's one way to go about it.
