You can play any of the major scale notes as long as the chord is is built
on that major scale. So play major on the I, IIm, IIIm, IV, V, and VIm.
Sometimes the major scale notes sound a little "square" on the V chord - the
blues pentatonic scale (again built off the I or tonic) can work better in
these situations.
The most common other common chords you will encounter that are not in the
same key as the ones listed above are the II, III, VI, and the bVII. There
are modal formulas that will guide you as to what scale to play on these
chords, but for practical purposes I have just learned what note makes the
chord deviate from the key and make sure that I play that note.
I know your question was based on the key of A, but I tend to process my
dobro theory in terms of G. So for a A chord (II) play a C# instead of a C.
For B (III), play a D# instead of D. For E (VI) play a G# instead of G, and
for F (bVIII), play an F instead of F#.
Hope that helps.
