Hello Pete,
You should be fine with 15/56 using DGDGBD / DADF#AD / GBDGBD. Sometimes when I am playing lap style in DADF#AD for a whole project I use 16/59s, but my advice to you would be to go with 15/56s and see how that feels.
Best wishes

Hi Pete
Start with 15/56 and see how they feel.
Yes my Lap Steel Guitar for Beginners is still available, but only direct from me. Send me a Private Message on here and I'll send you my Paypal details.
