Günter Schulz is a German-born guitarist formerly of the band KMFDM. His first credited appearance (as Svetlana Ambrosius, or Svet Am) was on the band's Naïve LP (1990). He continued using that stage name until 1995's Nihil. Schulz displayed an impressive mastery of speed metal guitar skills and co-wrote many of KMFDM's songs from the nineties. He also wrote and performed in his bandmates's side projects: two albums with Sascha Konietzko's Excessive Force and a solo LP by En Esch.

In early manifestations of the KMFDM web site (http://www.kmfdm.net), Schulz maintained a section called "Günter's Guitar Garage."

Schulz and Esch left KMFDM in 1999 due to tensions with Konietzko and the band dissolved in their wake. They recorded a few songs for tribute albums and then formed Slick Idiot, a KMFDM sound-alike featuring Schulz' trademark guitar and Esch's familiar snarl.
