Practice holding the guitar. Try to see how little pressure you can apply with your right forearm while balancing the guitar. Try to strum the strings while balancing solely with your right forearm (no left hand). Try to slide your left hand up and down the neck without using it to balance (pinch the guitar neck with the tips of your left hand middle finger and thumb, no other part of your left hand). Stand with your guitar and see how comfortable it is to reach the 6th string 1st fret with your left hand index finger or 6th string 4th fret with your pinky. It will not be easy but should be doable. If it's impossible, try shortening the strap length to sling the guitar higher.
