It isn't necessarily the sub. Learning an instrument is a very demanding task for the nervous system and takes up a lot of brainpower, especially in the beginning.
Gets better with time and practice, though.
Also you might want to mix it up a bit more, maybe throw in some, *cough cough*, fingering exercises every now and again (just find the tabs for the blues pentatonic scale in the Interwebz and have a ball; you can do some serious rokkin' based on just that), and don't forget to doodle around for the heck of it every once in a while.
Actually, in the beginning, it's best to practice in stretches of 20-30 minutes max, and then take a break. Do some sit-ups or something.
Sure, lotsa guys (and gals) tend to work their instruments for hours on end, but *they've been doing this shit for years*.
