Quick Answer
A beginner should buy a simple adjustable guitar strap that feels comfortable and does not slip too much. For electric guitar, a basic nylon, cotton, or padded strap is enough to start.
If you practice standing up, buy the strap early. If the guitar feels heavy, choose padded. If you move around a lot, add strap locks later.
