The progression stays the same, but the solo does not have to.
Ariel Posen approaches this track like a three-act story. The chords keep cycling through F#m, A, Bm, D, and C#, while the live band creates different levels of energy underneath him.
Act one sets the scene.
Act two raises the tension.
Act three earns the payoff.
The idea is not to fill every pass with new information. Listen to where the band is going, pace the phrases, and let each section lead naturally into the next.

Do you think about the full arc of a solo, or take it one phrase at a time?
